Description
It is the established law here that the vital issue in these cases is whether the plaintiff has already received something as full satisfaction of his damages. If he has, he cannot maintain another suit for the same item. If he has not, he is merely obliged to give credit for what he has received. Masterson v. Railway, 83 N.H. 190. Various forms used to discharge or protect one claimed to be liable because of concurrent fault have been considered. If the document recites that it is a settlement in full for the damages, and contains no suggestion of any reservations, it bars the subsequent claim against another defendant for the same injuries. Carpenter v. Company, 78 N.H. 118.
