United States Court of Claims December 15, 1876 (Fendall v. United States)

lead-opinion

Nott, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court:

In this case it cannot be determined by an inspection of the record whether the judgment and verdict in the Supreme Court of the District in favor of the defendant there, the claimant here, went upon his plea of non est factum, of nil debet, or of set-off.
