Excerpt from The Revised Reports, Vol. 55: Being a Republication of Such Cases in the English Courts of Common Law and Equity, From the Year 1785, as Are Still of Practical Utility; 1840-1842
Peters v. Fleming, p. 495, is still a leading authority on the liability of an infant for necessaries, as regards the deter mination of what things are included in that description.
Davis v. Black, p. 453, raises but does not decide the ques tion whether an action can be brought at common law for refusing to solemnize a marriage. There can be little doubt that medieval lawyers would have considered the matter merely spiritual and denied the existence of a cause of action.
