Abernathy & Pinegar v. Myerbridges Coffee & Spice Co.
| Decision Date | 22 March 1907 |
| Citation | 100 S.W. 862 |
| Parties | ABERNATHY & PINEGAR v. MYERBRIDGES COFFEE & SPICE CO. |
| Court | Kentucky Court of Appeals |
An unliquidated demand may be used as a set-off against a nonresident. Carson v. Carson, 2 Metc. 97; Taylor v. Stowell, 4 Metc. 177; First Nat. Bank v. Boyce, 78 Ky. 55, 39 Am. Rep. 198.
It is not averred in the answer that the plaintiff is a nonresident of the state. But the fact appears from the petition. On the original hearing this escaped our notice. As the plaintiff is a nonresident, the claim relied on by defendant for the conversion of the goods is allowable as a set-off.
The opinion heretofore delivered is extended as above indicated. The judgment appealed from is reversed, and the cause remanded, with directions to the circuit court to overrule the demurrer to the answer.
