Cameron's committee v. Pottinger

OPINION of the Court, by

Ch. J. Boyie.

This was an action of covenant, brought by the appellants as the committee of a lunatic, against the appellee, on an agreement entered into between him and the lunatic. Upon a demurrer to a plea to the action the court be, low gave judgment for the appellee, from which the appellants have prosecuted this appeal.

Before we investigate the errors assigned by the appellants, it is material to decide upon their right to maintain the action 5, for if they have no such right, it is clear that they cannot maintain an appeal or writ of error to reverse the judgment.
