Decision Date30 April 1885
Citation85 Mo. 502
PartiesMANSFIELD v. ALLEN et al., Appellants.
CourtMissouri Supreme Court

Appeal from Buchanan Circuit Court.--HON. W. H. SHERMAN, Judge.

REVERSED.

A. H. Vories and E. O. Hill for appellants.

Jas. F. Pitt for respondent.

SHERWOOD, J.

In our opinion, Allen was improperly made a party defendant, but this ought not to authorize a reversal of the judgment, under the liberal provisions of our statute respecting practice in civil cases. Sections 3570, 3582, 3583. See, also, Wescott v. Bridwell, 40 Mo. 146; City, etc., v. Bressler, 56 Mo. 350. We, therefore, modify the judgment by reversing it as to Allen, and affirming it as to Bassett.

Norton and Ray, JJ., concur.

HENRY, C. J., CONCURRING.

I concur in reversing the judgment, but think that the cause should be remanded for a re-trial thereof.
