State ex rel. Allen v. Pare
State ex rel. Allen v. Pare
Opinion of the Court
This action is on the bond of defendant, M. Pare, and the other defendants as his sureties, executed for the faithful administration of the partnership estate of W. EL Edington & Company, the breach being a failure to pay a demand alleged to have been allowed against the partnership estate. Plaintiff suffered a non-suit on account of adverse rulings on his evidence, and failing to have it set aside he appeals.
The petition alleges that W. EL Edington departed this life intestate, and defendant, Pare, was appointed administrator of his estate; that, at the time of his death, he was and had been a member of the partnership firm of W. H. Edington & Company, a firm composed of W. H. Edington and Thomas Hutchinson; that Hutchinson, as surviving partner, failed to give bond within thirty days, as required by law, and that thereby the administration of the partnership estate
From this statement it appears that the petition alleges, as a breach of the bond given for the administration of the partnership estate, the failure to pay a judgment rendered in the circuit court against the partnership estate, and allowed in the probate court against said estate, while the judgment offered in support of these allegations is a judgment against the individual
The suit on the note was originally against the firm of W. H. Edington & Company, but was afterward dismissed as to Hutchinson and left standing against Edington individually. The revival was undoubtedly meant as a revival against the administrator of his individual estate, and the judgment was unquestionably rendered against the individual estate. The finding of the court shows such to be the case.
The judgment should be affirmed, and it is so ordered.
