Justice Detail

Tompkins v. Hill

Kelly et al. v. Cecil Bank of Maryland

Adams v. Bishop et al.

Adams sued Bishop and others in an action of ejectment. The circuit court found for Bishop because Adams presented an invalid deed as evidence. The Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's decision because the deed lacked proper acknowledgment, violating Ohio law. The lower court's rejection of the flawed deed was justified, ensuring adherence to legal standards.

Adams v. Hardin

Hardin sued Adams to recover a debt on a promissory note. The circuit court found for Hardin. The Supreme Court reversed the lower court's judgment, noting that the circuit court wrongly sustained Hardin's demurrer to Adams's plea. The declaration began as a Debt action but concluded as an assumpsit action. Debt and Assumpsit cannot be combined in one declaration, constituting the initial error. 

Aldes v. Abbot

Abbot sued Aldes in an action of ejectment. Abbot's certificate, dating to 1817, was contested but deemed admissible. The circuit court found for Abbot, and Aldes appealed because of the admissibility of the certificate as evidence of title. The Supreme Court reversed the lower court's decision because the certificate was not evidence of title. The case was remanded for further proceedings.
