McGiffin v. Stout
Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided September 15, 1791 · Cur
1 N.J.L. 108
McGiffin v. Stout

Opinion of the Court

Per Cur.

Stout being an infant is no objection against his action, but then he must sue by guardian or next friend, and not having done this, the judgment must be reversed. His father’s permission is nothing to the objection.

Judgment reversed.

Cited in Smith v. Van Houten, 4 Hal. 381-475.
