First page of the opinion Cobs v. Mosby, in Decisions of Cases in Virginia by the High Court of Chancery, with Remarks upon Decrees by the Court of Appeals, Reversing Some of Those Decisions, by George Wythe. 2nd ed. (Richmond: J. W. Randolph, 1852).
Cobs v. Mosby, Wythe 137 (1791),[1] was a very brief opinion dismissing a bill for relief.
Background
Cobs filed a bill for relief with the High Court of Chancery against a verdict in another court.
The Court's Decision
The Chancery Court dismissed Cobs's bill. The court which had handed down the verdict rejected a motion for a new trial, and that motion was the only basis for the Chancery Court's jurisdiction.
