Swan v. Wilkinson
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Swan v. Wilkinson, 14 Mass. 295 (Mass. 1817)
Swan v. Wilkinson
Opinion of the Court
We know no distinction, as to the question in this case, between a feme sole commencing an action in her own right, or as executrix or administratrix. Her marriage pending the suit abates it in either case. The plaintiff’s rights remain to her, but her husband must join her in an action in which she would vindicate those rights.
JDefendant’s plea good,
[New vs. Muxcy, 17 Mass. Rep. 341. — Ed.]
