Willison and Crow:
Mich. 23 Car. Banc. Reg.
VVillison brought an Action upon the Case against Crow,* 1.1 for speaking these words of him, You are a bankrupt Skrub, and hath a verdict; it was moved in arrest of Iudgement, that the words are not actionable, be∣cause they are Adjective words, and so are not positive enough to ground an Action. But the Court held, they were actionable, for the word Banck∣rupt in it self was not an Adjective, and the joyning of it with Skrub made it not so, but it should be understood as much as to say, You are a Skrub, and also a Banckrupt. And judgement was given accordingly.
