Eames v. Prentice
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided October 15, 1851
8 Mass. 337
Eames v. Prentice

Opinion of the Court

The Court

held, that where the plaintiff counts in trespass quare clausum fregit, he cannot support the action by proving a trespass in taking and carrying away goods only; and overruled Sampson v. Henry, 13 Pick. 36, so far as it is opposed to this view. New trial granted.
