Supreme Court of Vermont · Decided January 15, 1886 · Rowell
58 Vt. 588

Sawyer v. New York State Clothing Co.

Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Rowell, J.

As there was no such corporation as The New York State Clothing Company, the suit was originally *590against nobody. Halbert v. Soule, 57 Vt. 358. Hence, delivering a copy of the writ to Cane, the supposed treasurer of such a corporation, brought nobody into court; and there being originally no defendant, it was not competent to make one by amendment.

Judgment reversed and cause dismissed.
