Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, 1859

Brown v. Kendall

Brown v. Kendall
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided September 15, 1859 · Metcalf
79 Mass. 272

Brown v. Kendall

Opinion of the Court

Metcalf, J.

The original complainant had only a life estate in the land of which she sought possession by this process. Upon her death, neither her heirs nor her administrator had any interest in the land or the possession of it. Of course, the process abated by her death, and did not survive to her administrator. See Ferrin v. Kenney, 10 Met. 294. The case is to be dismissed from the docket, without costs to either party.
