District of Columbia Court of Appeals · Decided May 25, 1882 · Cartter, Cox, James
12 D.C. 496

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.
