Gerrard v. . Norris

1 N.C. 667

Opinion

In trespass, on not guilty, there was a special verdict: That the plaintiff as in under an elegit, by which the land was extended; judgment being Crastin. Trin. 15 Jac., which was the 20th of June, etc. The defendant claimed under a statute acknowledged the same term, but before the judgment, viz., the 2d of June. I have heard that it was adjudged that the plaintiff had the best right, for he claimed under a judgment, and all the term is, in law, but one day.
