Voorheis v. Kerns

3 N.J.L. 966
Supreme Court of New Jersey·Decided September 15, 1812·Published

Opinion

Pennington, J.

— I am glad to see this certificate. The justice is correct in the idea of his duty; and unless the facts are denied, I am clearly of opinion, that the certiorari be dismissed.

M( Donald, for the plaintiff, could not deny the facts stated by the justice; the plaintiff had expected that the justice would return the writ, and therefore, had not called on him; he now wished for time to procure the return of the writ, with the transcript of the justice.

By the Court.

— If we indulge this practice, ceriioraris will be made use of as instruments of delay.

Writ dismissed.
