Court of Appeals of South Carolina May 15, 1867 (Meng v. Houser)

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Dunkin, 0. J.

The Chancellor, for the reasons stated in his decree, deemed it unnecessary to consider whether the Act of 1841 conferred on the defendant, William Steen, immunity from suit. But the earnestness and ingenuity with which the second ground of appeal has been urged have induced further inquiry.
