Egbers v. Logan

Superior Court of Delaware

Egbers v. Logan

1 Del. 342

Superior Court of Delaware·Decided July 1, 1834·Published

Opinion

It turned out that the paper had no seal to it, and not being duly authenticated, it was rejected on this ground, and the plff. suffered a nonsuit.

The question which he designed to raise in this case was whether one tenant in common of a vessel could be guilty of such a conversion as that trover would lie against him, without an actual destruction of the thing. The older cases are against the action; but a doubt is expressed in 2 Johns. Rep., and very strong in 7 Com. Law Rep. 148; Barton et al vs. Williams et al.
