Powell v. Clark
Powell v. Clark
3 N.J.L. 517
Powell v. Clark
Opinion of the Court
There are several reasons assigned for the reversal of this judgment. The only one which I think necessary to take notice of is, that the action is an action of covenant, when it ought to have been debt; this appears to me a fatal objection; an action of covenant will not lie on bond with a condition to deliver property; it should have been an action of debt.
The other Justices concurred.
Judgment reversed.
