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 — Cope
Cope, J. delivered the opinion of the Court Field, C. J. concurring:
*121Upon a further examination of this case, we are satisfied that our former decision was erroneous, and that the judgment should be reversed. The -principal defendant is a married woman, and as against her the complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause- of action. She could only be held in the character of a sole trader under the statute; and the allegation that she was doing business as a femme sole with the consent of her husband is insufficient. Enough should have been stated to establish her liability as a sole trader.
Judgment reversed, and cause remanded.
