Benson v. Anderson

Benson v. Anderson
Supreme Court of Maryland · Decided June 15, 1818
4 H. & J. 315

Benson v. Anderson

Opinion of the Court

The Court were of opinion, that the acknowledgment of the plaintiff, to be implied from the evidence, was not sufficient to support the issue. That it would have been sufficient to prove that rent was due, but not to prove that it was a rent for which a distress could be made. That therefore the judge below correctly decided that the testimony did not support the issue on the part of the defendant.

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
