STATE v. HUDSON, 2 Del. Cas. 28 (1797)

Wells’ Notebook, 362

STATE v. HUDSON, RUSSEL, et al.

Court of Quarter Sessions of Delaware.
1797.

The defendants entered Marvel’s house to execute a writ of homine replegiando to obtain possession of a Negro about to be exported. It appeared that the sheriff’s deputy had deputized a person to serve the writ, and the counsel for the prosecution objected that a deputy could not create a deputy.

PER CURIAM. BOOTH, C. J.

A deputy cannot make a deputy with the same powers, yet he may authorize the doing of a particular act. They said, likewise, that this writ was not (as it had been argued) obsolete, it being used through the state.
