(United States Reports)
Boehm v. Engle
Opinion of the Court
The Court were unanimous and clear in their opinion, that the act of 82 Hen. VIII. did extend to this province, and gave it in charge to the jury accordingly.
The verdict of the jury was conformable to this opinion, by their finding for the plaintiffs, having made an allowance for the lives of the two women in the damages,
The same point was ruled in Morris v. Vanderen, post, p. 67. The act of 1785 (2 Sm L. 299), passed since these decisions, has superseded the British statute.
