Cases

Burnap v. Wight

Burnap initiated an action of debt against Wight over a bond related to a writ of ne exeat. Wight, acting as an attorney, filed the affidavit leading to Burnap's arrest. The petition for the ne exeat was dismissed. Burnap filed a special demurrer to the declaration, challenging its validity. The court found the demurrer unjustified, as the declaration stated a valid cause of action. Unnecessary allegations were disregarded. The circuit court's decision was overturned, necessitating further proceedings.
