From 11 U.S. 496 - Brig Caroline, William Broadfoot v. The United States · 1813Most cited · 25 citing opinions
It is the opinion of the Court, that the libel is too imperfectly drawn, to found a sentence of condemnation thereon. . . . An information in rem ought to be as precise and formal as an information in personam. The civil law requires that a libel should be certain and positive in all material circumstances.
