Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided October 15, 1822

Curtis v. Bailey

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The Court are of opinion, that’the judge of probate was correct in admitting the appellee to exhibit the account. It may happen, that other persons must necessarily take the place of a guardian in settling an account; for instance, where a guardian dies. It does not appear, by the statute, that it must be settled upon the oath of the guardian. The judge of probate might have sworn the appellee.1
