Finney v. Harbeson
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided July 15, 1808
4 Yeates 513

Finney v. Harbeson

Opinion of the Court

The case was submitted to the court without argument by Messrs. Duncan and Elder for the plaintiff, and by Messrs. Fisher and Laird for the defendants.

The court said, nothing appeared in the record shewing an intention that the auditors were to be considered as general referees under our practice. At common law, the report not stating a special account, was undoubtedly erroneous.

Judgment reversed.
