Northrop v. Minturn

Northrop v. Minturn
New York Supreme Court · Decided January 15, 1816
13 Johns. 85
Northrop v. Minturn

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Supposing the true construction of the evidence to be, that part of the consideration of the note was for the use of a billiard table, in playing billiards at the house of Minturn ; yet, as there is no evidence that Minturn then kept a tavern, it was not an unlawful contract; there being no evidence that it was for money lost at play.

The judgment below must fee affirmed.
