Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Murray
The opinion of the Court was delivered by Murray, Chief Justice.
This cause comes within the rule laid down by us in Russel v. Armador,* in which we decided that the court below, sitting as a jury, must find separately the facts and conclusions of law. The verdict of the court in the present case is insufficient. This rule, however, is not intended to apply to judgments by default.
Judgment reversed as to Groves, and new trial ordered; judgment as to Brown affirmed; costs to abide the event.
