Kendall v. Winsor
THIS case was brought up by writ of error from the Circuit Court of the United States for the district of Rhode Island.
The facts in the case, the instructions asked for and refused upon the trial in the Circuit Court, and also those given to the jury by the court, are all set forth in the opinion of the court. Under these instructions, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed his damages in the sum of two thousand dollars.
It was argued by Mr. Jenckes for the plaintiffs in error, and by Mr. Keller for the defendant.
The points made by the counsel on each side can be readily inferred from a perusal of the instructions asked for on behalf of the defendants in the Circuit Court, and of those given, which latter were sustained in the argument in this court. All of these instructions are set forth in the following opinion.
Mr. Justice DANIEL delivered the opinion of the court.
