Whitmore v. Carr

Superior Court of North Carolina
Jan 1, 1802
3 N.C. 181 (N.C. Super. 1802)

Opinion

(Spring Riding, 1802.)

A nonresident can sue in the courts of this State.


If a known agent, residing here, of a person residing abroad, sue a man here in the name of his principal, it is well; or if he sue in consequence of a letter written to him, it is well, also. Therefore, Carr cannot be discharged from arrest; it is legal, and the habeas corpus must be denied.

NOTE. — See Fitzpatrick v. Neal, ante, 8, and the note thereto.
