Superior Court of New Hampshire, 1827

Pickett v. King

Pickett v. King
Superior Court of New Hampshire · Decided November 15, 1827
4 N.H. 212

Counsel

Goodall and Woodbury, for the demandants., Cushman and Bell, for the tenant.

Pickett v. King

Opinion of the Court

By the court.

We are of opinion that the motion of the demandants cannot be legally sustained. The cases to which we have been referred seem to show the practice to be in Massachusetts, to strike out the name of a party by way of amendment. But the practice is believed to be peculiar to that state. No authority is cited to warrant it in the cases which have been cited. In this state no such practice has ever prevailed.

Leave to amend refused, and demandants nonsuit.
