Lessee of Shippen v. Wells

Opinion of the Court

M’Kean C. J.

It is not pretended, that Baily knows anything of the merits of the dispute between the parties. And it has been settled in this court, that a subpoena with a deuces tecum will not lie *261for such newspapers. If the party wants the benefit of them, it behoves him to purchase them or get them in the best way lie can ; but an attachment will not lie against a party having them in his possession, for not producing them. Besides, the sum tendered for his expenses to go so great a distance from his own home, was very inadequate.

Motion denied.
