Howland v. Marvin

Supreme Court of California
Oct 1, 1855

         No brief on file.

         JUDGES: Heydenfeldt, J., delivered the opinion of the Court. Murray, C. J., concurred.

         OPINION

          HEYDENFELDT, Judge

         The covenant relied upon by the defence is only a covenant not to sue for five years.

         In such cases it has been uniformly decided, that the covenant is no bar to the action, but that the defendant must be turned to his remedy upon his covenant. See 7 Harris & Johns. 92; 1 Halsted, 429; 8 Pick. 229; 6 Wendell, 471; 2 Blackf. 119.

         Judgment affirmed.
