Graham v. Endicott
California Supreme Court · Decided July 1, 1857 · Murray
7 Cal. 144

Graham v. Endicott

Opinion of the Court

Murray, C. J.,

after stating the facts, delivered the opinion of the Court—Terry, J., and Burnett, J., concurring.

The complaint was demurred to, and the demurrer properly sustained. There was no relation between the present plaintiff and Endicott that would render him officially liable. Although responsible to Adams & Co., he was, so far as the plaintiff is concerned, a mere bailee of Adams & Co., and could only be garnisheed as a private individual.

Judgment affirmed.
