M'Daniel v. Scoggins
Supreme Court of South Carolina
M'Daniel v. Scoggins, 9 S.C.L. 227 (S.C. 1818)
Bay, Cheves, Gantt, Grimm, Johnson
M'Daniel v. Scoggins
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
As the law requires that the plaintiff, in a proceeding of this kind, shall distinctly state the circumstances of his case, and as no mention was made therein of this second promise, I am clearly of opinion that no evidence of such promise ought to have been permitted to go to the Jury.
A new trial should be had in the case.
