Austin v. Hall

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The declaration, in this case, is for a trespass on land, and an eviction of the plaintiffs; and for the damages sustained by reason thereof this suit is brought. The action is, strictly, a personal one, and the plaintiffs were bound to join in it. The release, therefore, by two of the plaintiffs, is a bar to the action, and the defendant is entitled to judgment.

Judgment for the defendant.
