Bauman v. Zinn

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Decided April 15, 1801

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1801-04-15

<p>Service of notice of a rule to take depositions on the plaintiff’s wife, though a party in the process is not good, if she has not acted in the business.</p>

Decided 1801-04-15

¶1In this case the deposition of Martin Dubs was offered in evidence, under a general rule to take depositions on ten days notice. The notice was served by the defendant Zinn’s wife, on the wife of Bauman, the plaintiff. Bauman was out of the state at the time of the service, and had been absent near a year. Plis wife never appeared to have had any agency in this business.

¶2The court overruled the deposition. Service of notice on the wife would answer no purpose whatever, though named in the process. The rule should have been specially penned, to have met this case.

¶3Verdict for the plaintiffs.
