Supreme Court of New Jersey October 15, 1850 (State v. Wood)

Green, C. J.

The first ground relied upon for quashing the writ is, that there is no order, judgment, or proceeding in the court below from which a writ of error will lie.

Thq strictness of the ancient common law rule, which restricted writs of error to tribunals proceeding according to the course of the common law, and their operation to technical judgments, has been greatly relaxed.
