Worke v. Hunter

Supreme Court of North Carolina

Decided December 15, 1804

Supreme Court of North Carolina · decided 1804-12-15

Ejectment. On the trial the case appeared to be this. A bill of indictment had been found against one George Harkness for perjury; he appeared, plead not guilty, and was acquitted, at term of Salisbury Superior Court. No express judgment was given by the Court, as to the costs of the prosecution.

Decided 1804-12-15

By the Court.

¶1—The Sheriff’s sale, under the circumstances of this case, did bind the land; but they also deem it regular, that the plaintiff in ejectment, who claims under a Sheriff’s sale, shall establish a title in him against whom the execution issued. A new trial was therefore awarded.
