State v. BurroughsState v. Burroughs
Sep 15, 1802
Versions:7 N.J.L. 426
The judgment of the sessions must be reversed. The offence charged is exclusively a private injury, and in no way concerns the public farther than any other private wrong. The cases cited from Burrows are strongly in point, and on the authority of them we are for reversing the judgment.
Judgment reversed.
