McDermott Bros. v. Garland

District of Columbia Court of Appeals
McDermott Bros. v. Garland, 12 D.C. 496 (D.C. 1882)
Cartter, Cox, James

McDermott Bros. v. Garland

Opinion of the Court

Chief Justice Cartter,

delivering the opinion of the court* said :

The rule laid down in the case of Schneider & Son vs. Garland, decided at the last term of this court must be held to apply here. That was even a much stronger case than this but the court found that the defendant, a married woman, was not liable in an action at law. This rule being applied it follows that the judgment below must be reversed.
