Buckley v. Carlisle

Supreme Court of California
Oct 1, 1852
2 Cal. 420 (Cal. 1852)

Opinion

October 1852.

Appeal from the Tenth District.

THIS action was for the recovery of personal property. The question was submitted to a jury, who found specially that the parties were partners in the property claimed by the plaintiff.

The Court ordered judgment to be entered in favor of the defendant, with costs; and plaintiff appealed.

Walker, for appellant, relied on secs. 144, 5 and 6, of the Practice Act of 1851, and upon sees. 1 and 17 of the same Act.

Field, for respondent.


This was an action for the recovery of personal property. The jury found specially that the plaintiff and defendant were partners in reference to the subject-matter of the suit. The mere statement of the finding is sufficient to show that the plaintiff had no right to recover. The property was as rightfully in the possession of the defendant, as it would have been in the plaintiff's; and there being in the bill no allegation of partnership, and no attempt to seek a dissolution and an account, it follows that there was no relief to which the plaintiff was entitled; and the judgment is therefore affirmed, with costs.
