Ferry v. Henry

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Ferry v. Henry, 21 Mass. 75 (Mass. 1826)

Ferry v. Henry

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

This demurrer is overruled. The case stated ln the bill is either that of a partnership between the complainant and respondent, or that of a joint interest in the funds of the store, either of which cases is within the provisions of the statute of 1823 giving jurisdiction to this Court as a court of chancery.1 A discovery is necessary to enable the complainant to know his portion of the profits, and the books and accounts of the store must be produced for the purpose of malting a settlement, unless by the answer which may be filed it shall appear that the bill ought not to be sustained.
