Lobdell v. Sturtevant

Lobdell v. Sturtevant
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided October 24, 1826
21 Mass. 243

Lobdell v. Sturtevant

Opinion

Writ of entry. The demandant claimed under an extent. The tenant objected to the officer’s return of the execution, because the appraisers were called indifferent and discreet men, instead of disinterested and discreet men, disinterested being the word used in the statute. But the objection was disallowed, for that in relation to the subject matter, the two expressions have the same meaning.

W. Baylies, for the tenant, cited Williams v. Amory, 14 Mass. R. 20.
