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 — Heydenfeldt
Heydenfeldt, Justice, delivered the opinion of the court. Wells, Justice, concurred.
This was a bill in equity, to subject the assets of an absent debtor to the payment of the plaintiff’s claim.
To entitle the plaintiff to this remedy, he must show that he is without a remedy at law. Instead of doing this, the bill discloses that he has a perfect remedy at common law against the co-defendant Lupton, the joint debtor of Lobater.
The demurrer was therefore well taken, and the judgment of the court below affirmed.
