Parties | SINNETT ET AL. v. J. R. WATKINS CO. |
Court | Kentucky Court of Appeals |
Appeal from Circuit Court, Daviess County.
Action by the J. R. Watkins Company against J. L. Sinnett and others. Judgment for plaintiff, and defendants Sinnett and Norris appeal. Affirmed.
W. E. Aud, J. R. Higdon, and J. R. Hays, all of Owensboro, for appellants.
Tawney Smith & Tawney and E. D. Libera, all of Winona, Minn., and Slack, Birkhead & Slack, of Owensboro, for appellee.
The J R. Watkins Company, a Minnesota corporation, brought this action against J. L. Sinnett, and Val C. Norris, E. K. Smith and I. B. Ware, who guaranteed the payment thereof, to recover a balance due for certain medicinal preparations and other articles alleged to have been purchased by Sinnett. From a judgment in favor of plaintiff, Sinnett and Norris have appealed.
The principal defense was and is that the contract was void, because appellee was engaged in doing business in this state without having complied with section 571, Kentucky Statutes, requiring every corporation to file in the office of the secretary of state a statement giving the name of an agent upon whom process can be served. With the exception of certain formal and immaterial portions, the contract sued on is as follows:
