State v. Gaillard

1 S.C.L. 500

Opinion

By the Court.

Although the defendant is by that law precluded from recovering any thing from the state, yet he may still defend himself against the state to the amount of its demand. He is not entitled however, to the balance which his account exceeds the demand of the state, under the discount law, though he is entitled to a verdict in his favour.

Verdict for the defendant, but without costs.
