Witte v. Derby Fishing Co.

Supreme Court of Connecticut · Decided November 15, 1817 · Baldwin, Company, From, Gave, Governed, Last, Other, Severally, Stockholder, Swift, That, Who

2 Conn. 260

Opinion of the Court

Swift, Ch. J.

The question submitted to ns in this case, depends upon the same principle, as the preceding case of Bulkley and others against these defendants ; and I should advise, that the testimony offered, is admissible.

In this opinion, the other Judges severally concurred, except Baldwin, J. who gave no opinion, being a stockholder in the company. The Judges who dissented from the opinion of the majority in the last case, after that case was decided, considered this as governed by it.
