Hallet v. Cotton

The practice of the mayor’s court, in obliging the amount of the verdift to be brought into court on a motion for a new trial, has never been adopted here. The infolvency of the bail* is certainly not a fufficient ground to induce us to make fuch an order ; and a copy of the affirmation, refpeéting the defendant’s circumitances, has never been ferved on him: of that, therefore, we can take no notice.† But let it be underitood, we do not mean to fay, that had it been otherwife we would have granted the motion.

Rule refufed.
