Purcell v. Thomas

— Replevin. An agreed case was made by the parties containing, substantially, the following facts: The property named in the declaration had been distrained by the defendants for rent due on a lease of certain lots in Vincennes, by virtue of which the tenant bound himself - to pay annually, for the rent of said lots, ninety-six dollars in Indiana scrip. The only question in the Circuit Court was, and the only question we have to consider now is, whether the remedy by distress will lie on such a contract. The Cir*307cuit Court decided that it would, and gave judgment for the defendants.
