Smith v. Brown

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Smith v. Brown, 3 Binn. 201 (Pa. 1810)
1810 Pa. LEXIS 74
Ghman, Tii

Smith v. Brown

Opinion of the Court

Tii.ghman C. J.

The rule of this court has been, since the case of Millar v. Hall, to discharge on common bail, unless the state,-under which the discharge was given, refuses to extend the same courtesy to the citizens of this state. But I think it fair to presume, unless some reason is shewn to the contrary, that such courtesy is extended; and such has been the course hitherto pursued by the court, where discharges have been pleaded under the laws of our sister states.

Per Curiam.

Rule absolute.
