State v. Brawley
Delaware County Court of Quarter Sessions · Decided December 16, 1803
2 Del. Cas. 202; 1803 Del. LEXIS 15

Counsel

Vandyke [for State]. George Read [for defendant]., Vandyke. , G. Bead.

State v. Brawley

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The Constitution [Art. 4] requires the payment of taxes within two years, and the Court have not power in this case to mold or bend the Constitution so as to relieve the defendant on this point. If, however, an elector should be left off by neglect, perhaps he might have his remedy against such officer.

Verdict, not guilty, after jury were up several hours. And Court granted a certificate of probable cause.
