Smith v. Adams , 1 Lock. Rev. Cas. 75 ( 1799 )

The Court of Errors held unanimously, that part of the decree erroneous, and it was modified accordingly.

Mr. Justice Bronson, who delivered the only opinion, says: “As my opinion rests on the ground that the bill should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction, I think the decree should be so modified, as not to prejudice the complainant’s right to sue at law for the redress of the injury of which he complains.”
