    MARY SMITH v. SARAH HORSEY, now Robinson.
    Court of Common Pleas.
    November, 1793.
    
      Wilson’s Red Book, 10.
      
    
    
      
       This case is also reported in Read’s Notebook, 11.
      
    
   It was shown at the trial that drunkenness will not excuse a crime committed — nor will it make void a civil contract unless the person is made drunk in order to deceive him or is some way cheated. Vide Bl.Comm.

Verdict for the plaintiff, £30 damages.

What gifts are fraudulent, vide 3 Co. 82.
