Grier v. Brook's Administrators ( 1797 )

Bassett, C. J.

The letter is the cause of action. The plaintiff goes for the sum mentioned in it, viz £100, and waives the rest of his claim. See Esp.N.P. 143. The probate should have been produced, because we have no other evidence of a cause of action.

Rodney, J., concurred. Johns, J., gave no opinion, having been of counsel in the case.

Enter nonsuit.

The plaintiff’s counsel prayed a bill of exceptions which was signed by the Court.
