U.S. Circuit Court for the District of North Carolina, 1793

Davy's case

U.S. Circuit Court for the District of North Carolina · Decided July 1, 1793 · Crew, Doderidge, Jones

1 N.C. 141

Opinion of the Court

Jones, J. and Doderidge, J.

The coronation pardon is only in the nature of a particular pardon, and differ from general pardons, which do avail. Parson Burton was deposed before the pardon.

Crew, C. J.

This does not appear. I incline to think the defendant is within the pardon.

Doderidge, J.

This is only a pardon when sued out, and not like a general pardon.

Curia advisare vult. Dyer 235. Palmer 412.
