Stout v. Phillips
Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided November 15, 1806
3 N.J.L. 140
Stout v. Phillips

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

— The first part of the state of demand is too uncertain for any judgment to be rendered on it, the latter part is illegal; damages cannot be recovered for the want of punctuality in the payment of a debt, both being put together, and entire damages given, [*] the whole is erroneous, and the judgment must be reversed.
