Opinion

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Rowell, J.

As there was no such corporation as The New York State Clothing Company, the suit was originally [590]*590against nobody. Halbert v. Soule, 57 Vt. 358. Hence, delivering a copy of the writ to Cane, the supposed treasurer of such a corporation, brought nobody into court; and there being originally no defendant, it was not competent to make one by amendment.

Judgment reversed and cause dismissed.
