Delaware Court of Common Pleas March 6, 1797 (Dunlap v. Brown)

Per Curiam. Bassett, C. J.

Johns, J.

This would be a total loss of plaintiffs’ debt, being foreigners and the estate insolvent; a court of equity would compel the party claiming justice also [to] do it himself.

Rodney, J., accordant.
