Superior Court of Delaware, 1852

Young Hall v. Bennett

Young Hall v. Bennett
Superior Court of Delaware · Decided July 5, 1852
5 Del. 365

Counsel

McFee , for reversal.

Young Hall v. Bennett

Opinion of the Court

The Court

reversed this judgment for want of proper parties. On a bond or single bill given to a woman before marriage, she must be joined in any action brought after marriage; and the husband cannot sue alone. The judgment in this case should have been at the suit of George Bennett and Abigail, his wife, late Abigail D. Draper, against Rouse F. Young and George Hall. It is not proper either to style him security, as both the defendants are principals.

Judgment reversed.
