Pearson

Walters v. . Breeder

Opinion of the Court

Pearson, J.

We think it settled, that a citizen of South Carolina may sue another citizen of that State, in the courts of our State, upon a personal cause of action originating in South’ Carolina. Miller v. Black, 2 Jones’ Rep. 341.

The distinction suggested in the argument that, in this case, both the parties are residents of the same State, can make no difference.

There is error. The plaintiff was entitled to a judgment of respondeat ouster.

Per Curiam.

Judgment reversed.
