Robbins v. Eakin
3 N.J.L. 746
Robbins v. Eakin
Opinion of the Court
To enable a defendant to recover a sum of money against the plaintiff, there must be a set-off. The issue on the pleadings below, was, that the defendant had broken his agreement with the plaintiff. If he had, the plaintiff was entitled to damages; if he had not, the defendant ought to have judgment for his costs; but he could not recover a sum of money against the plaintiff.
Judgment reversed.
