1 Tenn. 13
Greer v. Emerson
Opinion of the Court
Let the evidence go to the jury.—The line of distinction between trespass and case, in many instances, is so nice, that it seems difficult to discover it ; this appears to be one of that description, but modern authorities seem rather to incline to trespass than case.
Verdict for the plaintiff, for $350. Rule for a new trial, which was discharged.
Vide 5 T. R. 648; 6 T. R. 125; 3 Wil. 403; 1 Esp Rep. 54; 6 T. R. 128, n. 2 Hen. & Mun. 423; 2 Goulds ed. Esp. N. P. 214 215.
