Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, 1825

Pond v. Wetherbee

Pond v. Wetherbee
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided October 25, 1825
21 Mass. 312

Pond v. Wetherbee

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

In the first section of St. 1783, c. 32, it is enacted, that an executor or administrator licensed to sell real estate of the testator or intestate, for the payment of debts, may “ execute, in due form of law, deeds, &c., which instruments shall make as good a title to the purchaser ” as the testator or intestate, in his lifetime, could give. A different phraseology is used, we know not for what reason, in the second section.1 This deed however comes within the first, and was properly admitted in evidence.

Judgment according to verdict.

See Revised Stat. c. 71, § 10.
