Case No. 11,737.
RHEA v. RAWLINGS et al.
[3 Cranch, C. C. 256.]1
Circuit Court, District of Columbia.
Dec. Term, 1827.
PLEADING AT LAW—NAME OF PLAINTIFFS—USE OF FIRM NAME.
The name “Rawlings and Son,” is too uncertain to maintain an action.
Appeal from a justice of the peace. The judgment of the justice was in favor of “Rawlings and Son.”
Mr. Lear, for appellant.
The parties ought to be known. “Rawlings and Son” is too uncertain a description of the plaintiffs. In whose favor shall judgment be entered? Barney v. Washington City [Case No. 1,033].
THE COURT (THRUSTON, Circuit Judge, contra) reversed the judgment because the party plaintiff was not named in the proceedings.
