Bell v. Bugg
Wickham for the plaintiff in error. Wirt, contra.
In this case, (after a verdict for the plaintiff in slander,) the defendant moved, in arrest of judgment, that no actionable charge was made in the declaration, " both counts being laid in the alternative; that is to say, that the defendant spoke certain words, or words of the same import." The Superior Court of law over-ruled the motion, and entered judgment for the plaintiff; whereupon the defendant obtained a writ of supersedeas from a judge of this court; and, on the petition of the plaintiff in error, Tuesday, November 24th, 1812, the same writ of supersedeas was extended to a judgment which had subsequently been obtained upon a forfeited forth-coming bond.
Judgment affirmed.
Wickham for the plaintiff in error.
Wirt, contra.
