Livezey v. Gorgas
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided January 2, 1808 · Tilgiiman
1 Binn. 251; 1808 Pa. LEXIS 35

Livezey v. Gorgas

Opinion of the Court

Tilgiiman C. J.

The court do not think it necessary to decide whether or not they have jurisdiction of an assize of nuisance; but they are clearly of opinion that such an action cannot be removed into this court by a writ of habeas corpus; it has not been customary, and it is not proper, to remove a real action by this kind of writ. For this cause only they allow the motion.

Habeas Corpus quashed.
