Hurd v. Brown

Hurd v. Brown
Illinois Supreme Court · Decided April 15, 1866 · Lawrence
41 Ill. 125

Hurd v. Brown

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Lawrence :

The same question in regard to the admissibility of witnesses is presented in this case as in the preceding case of Brown v. Hurd, decided at the present term of the court. The same facts are presented by this record, the parties being reversed. We held, in that case, that the parties who had been defaulted were not competent witnesses to charge the defendant as a copartner.

We so hold in this case. The judgment is reversed and the cause, remanded.

Judgment reversed.
