Lamb v. Almy

Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Decided July 21, 1896

Supreme Court of Rhode Island · decided 1896-07-21

<p>EVIDENCE ; MANDAMUS ; PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIONS.</p>

Decided 1896-07-21

Per Curiam.

¶1 We do not think that it appears with sufficient clearness that Albert A. Baker was counsel for Dr. Lamb, as well as Mrs. Lamb, in the transaction to which the testimony to be taken relates, to warrant the magistrate in compelling Baker to disclose communications made to him by Mrs. Lamb by virtue of the relation between them of counsel and client.

¶2 The writ of mandamus is therefore denied and the petition dismissed.
