U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia, 1802

Lovejoy v. Wilson

U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia · Decided December 15, 1802 · Cranch, Kilty, Marshall, Object

15 F. Cas. 1000; 1 Cranch 102

Opinion of the Court

KILTY, Chief Judge,

was of opinion that the evidence was applicable to that count. No account being filed, the words “as by a particular account,” &c., must be rejected as surplusage, and then the count will stand as a general indebitatus assumpsit “for sundry matters chargeable in account;” and money lent is a matter chargeable in account.

MARSHALL, Circuit Judge, and CRANCH, Circuit Judge, did not object

(Quaere as to this point.)
