Burrall v. Du Blois

2 U.S. 229

• Court: Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
• Decided: July 1, 1795
• Status: Published

Opinion

By the Court:

--The day on which the verdict was given should be reckoned inclusive; and, therefore, the motion in arrest of judgment has been made too late.

. But we have no doubt, that it is in our power to grant the plaintiff permission to enter the verdict on the proper count; and that it ought, in this case, to be granted.

The motion in arrest of judgment was accordingly dismissed, and the verdict entered on the first count.

†

The Court waited ’till the last hour of the Term for the defendants' counsel, who was indisposed; but said, that in a case in which they were so pefectly satisfied, they could not keep it longer under advisement.
