Otis v. Jenkins
Opinion of the Court
By the Court —
In the case of Locknane agt. Martin, December term, 1858, and in the case of Dewey agt. Dyer, at the present term of this court, it was decided by this court, that the court of probate has not common law or chancery jurisdiction. The logical sequence of these decisions is, that the courts of probate do not possess the right to determine the legal liabilities of estates to third parties, or the legal liabilities of third parties to estates. The act of 1855, page 76, section 1, contemplates that the court of probate shall classify all claims against the estate, and that they shall be paid agreeble to this classification. Section 2d, page 75, of the acts of 1855, provides that all claims, not exhibited within three years from the granting of letters of administration, etc., shall be forever barred, save as to infants, etc. The record, in this case, does
ORDER. — The appellee will recover of the appellant her costs in this behalf expended, for which let execution issue.
