Whiting v. Johnson

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Whiting v. Johnson, 72 Mass. 246 (Mass. 1856)
Thomas

Whiting v. Johnson

Opinion of the Court

Thomas, J.

The declaration was not a good declaration tor a malicious prosecution; because it avers the institution of a suit in a court which had no jurisdiction. Bixby v. Brundige, 2 Gray, 129. And, though it is not easy, at first, to discern the precise object of the declaration, a closer examination reveals a suostantial declaration in trespass, with a running commentary of aggravation greatly exceeding the text. ' Exceptions overruled.
