Borden v. Brown

7 Mass. 93 | Mass. | 1810

By the Court.

Reviews are provided only where the original action is commenced by writ. We have had frequent applications of this kind, as well as for reviews, where judgment has been rendered on reports of referees, pursuant to a submission before a justice of the peace under the statute of 1786, c. 21; but we have uniformly refused such applications, on the ground that the laws authorizing reviews do not extend to such cases. The petitioner can take nothing by his petition.
