Packard v. Matthews
Packard v. Matthews
Opinion of the Court
The facts stated in the assignment of errors having been found by the jury, the entry of a reversal of the judgment in favor of the defendant in error was correct. The cases of Downs v. Fuller, 2 Met. 135, and Leonard v. Bryant, 11 Met, 370, and 2 Cush. 35, seem to have settled the construction of
The reversal in a case like the present must be general, as this court cannot now make such order as the court of common pleas ought to have done. Had it been a judgment for a greater sum than it ought to have been, or error of that kind, the court might now render such judgment as the court of common pleas should have rendered. Rev. Sts. c. 82, § 20.
Judgment of reversal affirmed.
