Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court January 19, 1880 (Wright v. Herrick)

Endicott, J.

The facts in this case, though substantially the same, differ in some respects from those disclosed when the case was last before us. 125 Mass. 154.

It appears that, in the autumn of 1872, Henry Phillips purchased goods of Plumstead, and informed him that the business was his, and would be carried on by William W. Phillips in his name.
