Side 18 - The difficulty in the case had arisen from not fixing accurately what a court of record is in the eye of the law. That description is confined properly to certain courts in England, and their judgments cannot be controverted.

Foreign judgments are a ground of action every where, but they are examinable.

Side 242 - I cannot conceive how this can be matter of law. I can understand, that the law should require, that due diligence shall be used, but that it should be laid down, that the notice must be given that day or the next, or at any precise time, under whatever circumstances, is, I own, beyond my comprehension.
