New York Trap Rock Co. v. Brown
Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided February 15, 1898
61 N.J.L. 536; 32 Vroom 536; 43 A. 100; 1898 N.J. Sup. Ct. LEXIS 152

New York Trap Rock Co. v. Brown

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

1. Failure to make profert can only be objected, to by a special demurrer. The twelfth section of the statute on amendments and jeofails is a substantial copy of the first section of the act of 4 Anne, c. 16, and was introduced in our legislation in 1794. Pat. L.,p. 126.

2. The clause providing for payment of penalties sued for is sufficiently set out.

3 and 4. A contract that a single person shall be employed as the sole agent of manufacturers to sell all their output, does not violate any principle of law and may be enforced.

5 and 6. The contract is not objectionable on the grounds named in this specification of causes, and the declaration shows a legal cause of action.

If defendant has a meritorious defence, he may apply for leave to withdraw demurrer and plead.

The demurrer must be overruled.
