Silsbee v. City of Salem

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Silsbee v. City of Salem, 103 Mass. 144 (Mass. 1869)
Chapman

Silsbee v. City of Salem

Opinion of the Court

Chapman, C. J.

The respondents have obeyed the order of the court so far as to bring an action; but they have not proceeded to try the title. The case came on for trial, and, as they produced no evidence, the court ordered a nonsuit. According to our practice, such an order against a party in court was irregular ; but, as no exception was taken, the respondents must be regarded as having assented to it. Motion granted.
