U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia, 1807

Bennett v. Wilson

Bennett v. Wilson
U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia · Decided November 15, 1807 · Duckett
3 F. Cas. 236; 1 Cranch 446
Bennett v. Wilson

Opinion of the Court

THE COURT (DUCKETT, Circuit Judge, absent)

refused to continue the cause on the ground that Bennett had not appeared to' the bill for discovers'; because it also sought general relief, and prayed an injunction, stating all the grounds of defence to the suit at law, and drew the whole subject-matter into equity. There was no affidavit stating that other testimony could not be had in lieu of Thompson’s; and Wilson may obtain an injunction upon giving security. The plaintiff at law ought to have a judgment for his security.

But THE COURT (DUCKETT, Circuit Judge, absent,) refused to permit it to be read in evidence.
