Hodgdon v. Chase

32 Me. 169 | Me. | 1850

Shepley, C. J.,

orally.—This is an action of singular type. It has been argued by the plaintiffs’ counsel with much ingenuity and force. But we think the reasoning cannot prevail. To maintain such an action would render the statute inoperative, except to change the form of actions from assumpsit to case or tort. Demurrer held good.
