Yancy v. Fenwick

4 Va. 423

Opinion

By the Chancellor.

This is a plain case. The plaintiff might have defended himself at law; but, without assigning a reason why he did not, he comes into this Court, as if it were a matter of right. But in that he is mistaken j for this Court can only give relief, where the ’aw affords none ; unless the party s asking for it, could not avail 'himself at law ; and then, the circumstances must always be stated in the bill, that the Court may judge of them.

Bill dismissed with costs.
