Tunnell & Wife v. Watson & Wife
Supreme Court of Virginia · Decided May 15, 1811
2 Va. 283

Tunnell & Wife v. Watson & Wife

Opinion of the Court

“ A majority of the court is of opinion that the special verdict in this cause is too imperfect to render judgment upon, for the whole land in the declaration mentioned, in this, that it is not shown, by the facts found therein, that the female lessor of the appellee was the exclusive heir of the posthumous child of Selby Simpson.”

Judgment therefore revei'sed, arid venire facias de aovo awarded.
