Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided May 15, 1809
3 N.J.L. 529

Souders v. Stratton

Opinion of the Court

[*]

By the Court.

It is evident from the face of the record sent up by the justice, that the credits were not even pretended to be real. The law requires in this, as in all other judicial proceedings, good faith. There must be a real credit to reduce the demand to the justice’s jurisdiction.

Judgment reversed.
