Boyden v. Boyden

Opinion of the Court

The Court

after observing that it appeared to be owing to a misapprehension of his powers by the guardian that he had held the person of his ward in restraint, and bound him to service, and that guardians of this peculiar class had no control of the persons of their wards, reversed the decrees of the judge of probate, with costa for the appellant.
