Powers v. Gowen

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Powers v. Gowen, 32 Me. 381 (Me. 1851)
Shepley

Powers v. Gowen

Opinion of the Court

Shepley, C. J.

This suit appears to have been commenced by one of the makers of a promissory note against another maker for contribution.

The plaintiff does not appear to have paid so much upon the note as the defendant; and the larger portion of what he has paid was derived from the common estate, for which the note was made in payment.

Under such circumstances a nonsuit was properly ordered.

Exceptions overruled.
