Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion — Bennett

By the Court, Bennett, J.

I have no doubt of the illegality and injustice of the judgment appealed from. But the case is not distinguishable from the case of Folsom v. Root, decided at the last term by a majority of the members of the court, myself dissenting. I suppose, therefore, that the judgment must be affirmed on the principle of stare decisis.

Ordered accordingly.
