Powell v. Clark
Supreme Court of New Jersey
Powell v. Clark, 3 N.J.L. 518 (N.J. 1809)
Kirkpatrick
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, thgt 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.
