Durell v. Mosher

Oct 15, 1811
Reporters:
Per Curiam.

The objection to the jurors was ‍‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‍unfounded. The third juror objected to, had given no decided opinion on ‍‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‍the merits of the cause. His declaration was hypothetical. Though a demand and ‍‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‍refusal of, the sheep was not proved; yet the promise by the defendant to ‍‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‍return them, and a failure to do so, was evidence of a ‍‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‍conversion. The judgment must be affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
