Overseers of Coventry v. Cummings

2 U.S. 114

Opinion

By the Court:

—If the return is false, the Justice is liable to an action, at the instance of the injured party : If he has acted contrary to justice, an information will be granted against him. But in the present state of the business (though we highly disapprove of the interference of a Justice in any matter previously decided by another Justice) we must take the cafe as listed upon the return, without travelling into the merits of the original question.

Judgment affirmed.
