Monroe Cattle Co. v. Becker, 147 U.S. 47 (1893)
Monroe Cattle Co. v. Becker
No. 87
Submitted December 9, 1892
Decided January 3, 1893
147 U.S. 47
"17 Defendant was impleaded by the name of A. W. Becker.
Initials are no legal part of a name, the authorities holding the full
Christian name to be essential. Wilson v. Shannon, 6 Ark. 196;
Norris v. Graves, 4 Strob. 32; Seely v. Boon, 1 N. J. Law, 138; Chappell v.
Proctor, Harp. 49; Kinnersley v. Knott, 7 C. B. 980; Turner v. Fitt, 3
C. B. 701; Oakley v. Pegler, (Neb.) 46 N. W. Rep. 920; Knox v. Starks, 4
Minn. 20, (Gil. 7;) Kenyon v. Semon, (Minn.) 45 N. W. Rep. 10;
Beggs v. Wellman, 82 Ala. 391, 2 South. Rep. 877; Nash v. Collier, 5 Dowl. & L.
341; Fewlass v. Abbott, 28 Mich. 270. This loose method of pleading is
not one to be commended, but, as no advantage was taken of it in the
court below, it will not be considered here."
18 The decree of the circuit court, except as to section 66, is therefore
reversed, and the case remanded for further proceedings in conformity
with this opinion. END
