Fullerton v. Seymour

Supreme Court of Vermont

Decided January 15, 1833

Supreme Court of Vermont · decided 1833-01-15

This was an action of Assumpsit, tried at the County Court, December Term, A. D. 1833.

Decided 1833-01-15

¶1The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Baylies, J.

¶2The defendants on trial before the County Court contended, that there was a variance between the averment in the declaration,' and the indorsement on the note : the averment is, “ that Grant and Seaver indorsed said note, their own proper hand writing being to such in-dorsement subscribed.” Whereas the evidence is, that the indorsement is wholly in the hand writing of Grant. As *250there is no averment in the declaration, that Grant & Seaver were partners, or were acting under a nrm or that name, we are inclined to believe, that the indorsement mac^e by Grant alone, does not prove the averment, “ that Grant & Seaver indorsed said note, their own proper hand writing being to svch indorsement subscribed.” Levy vs. Wilson, 5 Esp. N. P. R. 180; Pease et al vs. Morgan, 7 J. R. 468.

Waller, for plaintiff.Q. Seymour, for defendants.

¶3Therefore, it is considered, that the County Court erred in deciding there was no variance, and their judgement must be set aside, and

¶4A new trial granted.
