Ayres v. Barr ( 1831 )

Chief Justice Robertson

delivered the opinion of the Court.

There is error in the judgment in this, to-wit:

1st, There were only eleven jurors; and the plaintiff in error was not present in court, and, therefore, did not waive objection to the number.

2d. The judgment is excessive; as the note was executed on the 1st of January, 1824, the defendant j-n error was emitted only to tbe value of the commonwealth paper and interest thereon. r r

Dana, for plaintiff; Denny, for defendant.

Judgment reversed, and cause remanded for further proceedings.
