Faucett v. Currier
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided March 5, 1874 · Gray
115 Mass. 20; 1874 Mass. LEXIS 132

Counsel

J. W. Hubbard, for the defendant., D. C. Linscott, for the plaintiffs.

Faucett v. Currier

Opinion of the Court

Gray, C. J.

The exact question now presented was argued and decided when the case was before this court at a former stage. 109 Mass. 79. The offer of evidence fell short of showing any fraud practised on third persons or any illegal contract between the plaintiffs and defendant, and amounted to no more than an attempt of the defendant to control the effect of her formal agreement in writing by oral testimony of previous negotiations.

Exceptions overruled.
