Supreme Court of North Carolina June 15, 1839 (Den on dem. Belfour's v. Davis)

Ruffin, Chief Justice,

after stating the case as above, proceeded: - Whatever doubts may be raised upon some of the questions found in the record, the justice of the plaintiff’s case is so apparent that it is gratifying to find that there are other points on which the law is clearly in his favour, and which are decisive of the cause.
