Executors of Guerard v. Rivers

1 S.C.L. 265

Opinions

Giumke, J.

was of opinion with the defendants, that the purchase-money and interest, was the rule for the jury to govern themselves by.

Waties, J.

differed, and thought the value of the lands at the time of eviction, was the best general rule for the government of juries, in cases of this nature. Though in special cases, he agreed, that the jury might make the consideration money and interest, the rule of estimating their damages.
