Cook v. Hendrickson

Cook v. Hendrickson
Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided February 15, 1808
3 N.J.L. 343

Cook v. Hendrickson

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

— The justice did right; it was too late after appearance and filing a plea, to take advantage of the defect in the return of the summons.

The second objection to the proceedings of the justice was, that the action was an action of debt; and that the verdict and judgment was for damage. But the [*] court said, that was a mere verbal mistake, for which they had never reversed a judgment — and Affirmed the judgment.
