Thornton v. Spotswood , 1 Va. 142 ( 1792 )

The court was unanimously of opinion, that the appellants remedy, if any he had, was at law. That whether the ^annuity was extinguished or not, at law, it was so in equity, under all the circumstances of this case, and that of course the appellants had mistaken their right, as well as their remedy.

The decree of the High Court of Chancery was affirmed.
