M'Hugh v. Cave

M'Hugh v. Cave
Supreme Court of South Carolina · Decided January 15, 1806 · Couet, Esent
4 S.C.L. 37

M'Hugh v. Cave

Opinion of the Court

The couet (all the judges pi-esent)

granted the motion, and judgment was arrested. It appeared on the face of the record, that the contract was made by a feme covert, and it did not appear by what authority she had contracted, or that she had any right to contract, to bind herself or her husband. Therefore, no legal cause of action appeared on the record to authorize a judgment for the plaintiff against the defendants.

Judgment arrested.
