Powrie v. Fletcher

Powrie v. Fletcher
Court of Appeals of South Carolina · Decided July 1, 1798 · Bay, Grimke, Waties
2 S.C.L. 146

Powrie v. Fletcher

Opinion of the Court

The jury, contrary to the charge of the presiding judge who tried the cause, allowed the defendants the amount of their demand.

This was a motion for a new trial, which was ordered without argument, and that too without costs ; as the jury did wrong in allowing the discount; the law being very clear, that the private debt of one copartner, cannot be set off against a copartnership demand.

Present, Grimke, Waties and Bay.
