National Bank of Commerce v. Meader
Supreme Court of Minnesota
Appeal by plaintiff from an order of the district court for Sibley county, Edson, J. presiding, refusing a new trial after verdict in favor of the answering defendants, August Poehler, Henry Poehler, and Thomas Welch.
1Opinion of the Court
Dickinson, J.1
This is an action to recover for money loaned by the plaintiff, in January and May, 1886, amounting to $20,000, for which promissory notes were given. There is no question as to the liability of Meader and D’Absalmon, the other defendants alone interposing defence. The plaintiff urges, notwithstanding the verdict of the jury in favor of the last-named three defendants, that the circumstances attending the loan and the use of the money were such as to charge them with liability as partners with Meader and D’Ab-salmon. Error is also assigned in respect to the charge of the court.
