Taylor v. Hutchinson

Opinion of the Court

Kirkpatrick, C. J. and Pennington, J.

— Were clearly of opinion, that the action could not be sustained. The board, washing, &c. furnished the [*] boy, was furnished him as an apprentice, and while the boy was serving the master as an apprentice; that if he had any remedy against the father, it must be on the contract. It did not appear that the father contracted to pay the board of the boy, and the nature of the transaction repelled the idea.

Ross urn, J.. — Doubted.

Judgment reversed,
