2 Tyl. 243

Sabin v. Grosvner

Supreme Court of Vermont

Decided June 15, 1803

Supreme Court of Vermont · decided 1803-06-15

THE plaintiff declared in general assumpsit, in several counts. First. Held: that where there had been a special agreement, plaintiff ought to declare on it; for he should not be allowed to give it in evidence on a general indebitatus assumpsit; and there is nothing appears why it is not the practice now, excepting a marginal query by the learned author.

Decided 1803-06-15

Curia,

¶1As the Court are at present impressed, the special promise set forth in the specification cannot go to the Jury in support of either of the counts in the declaration; but we are willing to hear arguments for the plaintiff iristanter, or let a verdict be taken for the defendant, subject to the opinion of the Court upon the rejection of the evidence ; or, as the cause is open to review, upon the review the subject may be more deliberately argued and considered than this late hour of the term will admit. However, the plaintiff has his election.

¶2The plaintiff suffered a verdict to be returned against him, and the cause was not reviewed.
