Gaskins v. Hammett

Mississippi Supreme Court
Gaskins v. Hammett, 32 Miss. 103 (Miss. 1856)
Fisher

Gaskins v. Hammett

Opinion of the Court

Fisher, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

This was a proceeding in the Probate Court of Jefferson County, to compel the appellee to account for certain moneys and property which it was alleged he had received as administrator, &c. He denied that he was administrator of the deceased; and set up a claim, under a deed of gift, to the property. The court below dismissed the petition, and from that order this appeal has been prosecuted.

The petitioner has a full and complete remedy, if he can establish his claim as administrator to the property, in a court of law ; which is, indeed, the only court in which the subject-matter embraced in the petition can be properly litigated.

Decree affirmed.
