Parker v. Munday

1 N.J.L. 83

Opinion

[71] By the act of assembly of June 5th, 1782, ( Wils. 263; Griffith’s Treatise 14,) a demand above £6 is to be tried by a jury of twelve men. This proceeding is therefore contrary to the express provision of the law, and con-, sent cannot cure the want of jurisdiction, or supersede the express words of the act of assembly.

Per Cur.

Reverse the judgment.
