1 N.C. 12

• Court: U.S. Circuit Court for the District of North Carolina
• Decided: July 1, 1793
• Status: Published

Opinion

Doderidge, J.

Curia assented, and

Jones, J.

said, most clearly, an action of covenant lies for not sailing with the first wind: For thereby the market may be lost. Postea, p. 49. Poph. 161. Bendl. 146. Noy 75. Palm. 397.
