Gerrish v. Mason
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Gerrish v. Mason, 70 Mass. 432 (Mass. 1855)
Dewey
Gerrish v. Mason
Opinion of the Court
There is no ground for maintaining this action. The title of the plaintiff is derived under a mortgage deed of certain land conveyed in the usual form to a married woman, and, by her sole deed, conveyed in mortgage, her husband not joining in the mortgage. The St. of 1845, c. 208, does not apply to the case.
If it were otherwise, the plaintiff, as mortgagee, could not maintain this action founded upon Rev. Sts. c. 104, to recover possession of the mortgaged premises. Hastings v. Pratt, 8 Cush. 121.
