Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided September 15, 1810
3 N.J.L. 683

Russell v. Snoook

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

— If any thing is to be made out from this crude state of demand, it is this, that Isaac Russell bought of the plaintiff below, a stack of hay, and agreed to pay for it in shingles, but failed in payment; and that John Russell promised to pay for the hay if the plaintiff below would let Isaac Russell have it. It does not appear that the hay was delivered, hut admitting that it was, there was no joint cause of action; the demands were separate and distinct.

Judgment reversed.
