Delaware Reports: Containing Cases Decided In The Supreme Court (Excepting Appeals From The Chancellor) And The Superior Court And The Orphans Court Of The State Of Delaware by David Thomas Marvel. This Part 3 of 4 compiles nineteenth?century Delaware appellate decisions from the Superior Court and Court of Errors and Appeals, with Wilmington and New Castle County matters. The excerpt surveys civil, commercial, and equity decisions from the late 1860s through early 1870s, highlighting property rights, neighborly duties, contracts, usury, mechanics’ liens, municipal liability, and the reach of legislative power over charters. Notable case notes include Cooper V. McBride, establishing that an easement by long use requires adversity rather than mere acquiescence; Pearce V. Provost, addressing res judicata and illegality of wager contracts; Cleaden V. Webb on admissibility of testimony in usury challenges; O’Daniel V. the Baker’s Union on duty of ordinary care and party?wall foundations; P.W. & B. R. R. Co. V. Bowers recognizing charter rights against retrospective regulation; and France V. Woolston on mechanics’ lien scope. The section also covers fall?session jurisprudence on umbrella?case jurisdiction, pleading standards, nonsuits, and municipal negligence; railroads, partition, and latent ambiguities in wills, and the balance between private rights and public policy. It emphasizes the evolution of civil liability, property doctrine, and procedural rules in Delaware law.
