Kinney v. Showdy , 1 Hill & Den. 544 ( 1841 )


Menu:
  • By the Court, Bronson, J.

    The infant was not capable of making a binding contract for the purchase of the cow, and I think the officer was not obliged to receive his bid. True, the property might be put up again and re-sold if the infant refused to accept and pay for it; but the officer was not bound to strike off the property on an offer which, if accepted, would not make a valid contract. The court of C. P. was right in reversing the judgment.

    Judgment affirmed. ¡
