Nicholls v. Fearson
U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia · Decided May 15, 1826 · Morsell
18 F. Cas. 179; 2 Cranch 703
Nicholls v. Fearson

Opinion of the Court

MORSELL, Circuit Judge,

thought the whole subject ought to have been left to the jury without instruction from the court.

Mr. Key, for plaintiff, then prayed two instructions which THE COURT (MORSELL, Circuit Judge, not sitting) refused to give, because the evidence did not warrant the statement of facts upon which the prayers were founded.

Reversed by the supreme court February, 1833, 7 Pet. [32 U. S.] 103.
