5 Va. 40; 1 Call 47; 1797 Va. LEXIS 6
Bell v. Marr

Opinion of the Court

PENDLETON, President.

Delivered the resolution of the Court to the following effect:

That there was no difference between this case and that of Scott v. Hornsby, decided the other day ; except that the release here, was after the judgment, but in that case, it was before. That the Court, however, thought there was no distinction between the principles of the two cases; and consequently that the judgment, in this, as well as in that case, was right; and ought to be affirmed.
