New York Trap Rock Co. v. Brown

Per Curiam. 1. Failure to make profert can only be objected, to by a special demurrer. The twelfth section of the statute on amendments and jeofails is a substantial copy of the first section of the act of 4 Anne, c. 16, and was introduced in our legislation in 1794. Pat. L.,p. 126. 2. The clause providing for payment of penalties sued for is sufficiently set out. 3 and 4. A contract that a single person shall be employed as the sole agent of manufacturers to sell all their output, does not violate any principle of law and may be enforced. 5 and 6. The contract is not objectionable on the grounds named in this specification of causes, and the declaration shows a legal cause of action. If defendant has a meritorious defence, he may apply for leave to withdraw demurrer and plead. The demurrer must be overruled.
