Markham v. Gehan

3 N.W. 262, 42 Mich. 74, 1879 Mich. LEXIS 706

Opinion

Cooley, J.

It appears in the record beyond^ any controversy that the demand owing by defendants, and which the plaintiff seeks to recover from them as garnishees, was due not to the principal defendant alone, but to him and another person with whom he was joint contractor for building a church. There was therefore no ground for a recovery, and the judgment in favor of defendants must be affirmed with costs.

The other Justices concurred.
