Wells v. Smith
Wells v. Smith
79 Mass. 207
Wells v. Smith
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiff, by his own showing, has no equity. He conspired with the defendant to bring a groundless action, in order to defeat the rights of his wife in certain trust property, under the false pretence that it was liable to attachment by his creditors, when the plaintiff in that action was not a creditor; and the whole of the proceeding was an abuse of legal process, and a fraud on the law.
Bill dismissed.
