82 Mass. 190

Foster v. Bryant

Opinion of the Court

Chapman, J,

The members of the committee who jointly assumed the responsibility of carrying on the work were partners in respect to it, and the plaintiff’s remedy is in equity. But it does not appear that those members or the parish have released their interest in the funds held by the defendant’s intestate, and therefore they ought to be made parties.

Demurrer sustained for want of parties only.
