Penniman v. Jones

Penniman v. Jones
Supreme Court of New Hampshire · Decided August 5, 1878 · Allen, Stanley
58 N.H. 447

Penniman v. Jones

Opinion of the Court

Allen, J.

Jones, with whom Stark was jointly interested in the transactions complained of, was a member of the plaintiffs’ firm, and could not be sued at law and be made plaintiff and defendant in the same suit. Equity was the appropriate remedy for the fraudulent alienation and conversion of the partnership funds, and Stark was properly made a defendant in the proceeding.

Motion denied.

Stanley, J., did not sit.
