Stephens v. Clark

8 N.J.L. 333

Opinion

By the Court.

However reluctant we may be to order an amercement against the sheriff who bears the character •of an active and faithful officer, yet it is manifest that no ■cause has been” shewn against the motion. From the face of the writ, he should have accepted directions from the plaintiffs or their attorney only, and after the receipt of the letters, he being forewarned, listened to Vanmater at his-peril.

Amercement ordered.
