McNamara v. Garrity

Opinion of the Court

Virgin, J.

Of the several questions raised by the bill of exceptions, the only one relied on and argued by the defendants’ counsel, relates to the sufficiency of the affidavit, wherein the *420plural forms of the pronouns were used, although only one of ■the debtors was arrested.

In 1851, the same question was raised, but the court considered 'it too technical and adjudged the affidavit sufficient. Stare ■decisis. Cates v. Noble, 33 Maine, 258.

Exceptions overruled.

Peters, C. J., Daneorth, Libbey, Foster and Haskell, .JJ., concurred.
