Terrell v. Page's Administrator
Terrell v. Page's Administrator
Opinion of the Court
having stated the case as above, proceeded.
Here are two counts in this declaration ; the one begins in covenant, and concludes in case; the second is altogether in case. There is but one plea, and that is to the count which begins in covenant, leaving the other count unanswered.
Upon a view of this agreement, it appears not to be a lease in itself, nor even a demise, but an agreement to make a lease with certain covenants and conditions therein,
was of opinion, that the judgment of the District Court was perfectly correct, and ought to be affirmed.
See 2 Call. 34. the opinion of Jiroe* Lyons.
