Righter v. Haines
Righter v. Haines
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The defendant in error, Jennie E. N. Righter, administratrix of Washington Righter, brought suit
If the rents in question were derived from the property of Bighter, his administratrix could recover only such as accrued in his lifetime; the balance, which accrued after decedent’s death, belonged to the one entitled to the land of Bighter after his death.
In the absence of testimony showing that all the rents collected were assets of the estate of the deceased, it was error to direct a verdict.
We find no error in the proceedings by which the case came within the jurisdiction of the Court of Common Pleas for trial.
The judgment below is reversed.
