Young Hall v. Bennett, 5 Del. 365 (Del. Ct. App. 1852).

Pincite

Opinion

The Court

reversed this judgment for want of proper parties. On a bond or single bill given to a woman before marriage, she must be joined in any action brought after marriage; and the husband cannot sue alone. The judgment in this case should have been at the suit of George Bennett and Abigail, his wife, late Abigail D. Draper, against Rouse F. Young and George Hall. It is not proper either to style him security, as both the defendants are principals.
