Frazier v. Perkins

Frazier v. Perkins
Supreme Court of New Hampshire · Decided June 5, 1882 · Carpenter, Allen
62 N.H. 69

Frazier v. Perkins

Opinion of the Court

Carpenter, J.

The money was as much the gift of the plaintiff as if he had delivered it to O. with his own hand. No element necessary to make it a completely executed gift was wanting. It was beneficial to the children, and their acceptance is presumed. Hurd v. Silsby, 10 N. H. 110; Peavey v. Tilton, 18 N. H. 151; Fellows v. Greenleaf, 43 N. H. 421; Johnson v. Farley, 45 N. H. 505. The plaintiff’s suggestion that the money be deposited in a particular way was advisory, and not a condition or limitation of the gift.

Exceptions overruled.

Allen, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
