1Opinion of the Court
By this Court.
There is nothing erroneous in the judgment.
The reasons which seemed to prevail with the court in the decision of the cause, were those which Law and Dyee., JJ., offered for dissenting from the opinion of the court in the cause of Brattle v. Gustin, reported in Kirby; and the judgment of the Supreme Court of Errors reversing the judgment of the Superior Court in that cause.
Although I excused myself from judging in this cause, on account of my having been of counsel for Gustin in the Supreme Court of Errors; yet I would make some observations upon the law which governs this case.
