3 N.J.L. 124

Winans v. Denman

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

This judgment cannot, by any rule of law, be sustained. The state of demand does not set out a legal cause of action, even if it was alledged as an injury done to both the plaintiffs; further, a joint cause of action is not even alledged, but an injury to one of the defendants in this Court, only, is stated. Two men cannot join in an action for an injury done to one of them only.

Judgment reversed.
