Pennington v. Fleming
Pennington v. Fleming
Opinion of the Court
Fleming sued appellant. Pennington, and appellee W. P. Alexander, upon an open account for goods, wares, and merchandise, sold and delivered, alleging that defendants were partners, and that the items in the account were sold to the partnership. Pennington, under oath, denied the partnership, and further pleaded the statute of frauds. He also asked judgment over against Alexander for any judgment which' might be rendered against him upon the theory that the debt sued upon was the personal debt of Alexander, who was primarily liable therefor. The account was carried in the name of Alexander upon Fleming’s books. The case was tried without a jury, and judgment rendered in favor of Fleming against Alexander and Pennington, and that Pennington take nothing by his cross-action against Alexander.
Opinion.
Judgment over against Alexander was therefore properly refused. Lockhart v. Lytle, 47 Tex. 452; O’Neill v. Brown, 61 Tex. 34.
Upon the views expressed, the assignments are all without merit.
