Williams, Executor of Elizabeth Breedon v Breedon: 19 Nov 1798

Where a general verdict has been given on two counts, one of which is bad, and it appears by the Judge’s notes that the jury calculated the damages or evidence applicable to the good count only, the Court will amend the verdict by entering it on that count, though evidence was given applicable to the bad count also.
