Superior Court of North Carolina, 1796

Jones v. . Stokes

Jones v. . Stokes
Superior Court of North Carolina · Decided April 5, 1796 · The Court, HAYWOOD, J., and STONE, J.,
1 N.C. 75
Jones v. . Stokes

Opinion of the Court

ordered the plea to be overruled: because the act only gives the advantage to the defendant for an illegal service, but not when there isno service at all.

NOTE — See an anonymous case in 2 N.C. 286, which is probably the same case with this, and Worthington v. Colhane, 4 N.C. 166, which fully sustains it.
