Marsteller v. McClean

District Court, District of Columbia
Marsteller v. McClean, 1 D.C. 579 (1809)

Marsteller v. McClean

Opinion of the Court

The Court

were of opinion that the replication of coverture as to some of the plaintiffs, and of infancy as to others, is not a good replication to a plea of the statute of limitations.

Where adults and infants have a joint right of action for trespass, the incapacity of the infants shall not avail the adults so as to avoid the statute of limitations.1

Judgment affirmed in the Supreme Court of the United States, 7 Cranch, 156.
