Dolan v. Kelly
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided November 11, 1887
9 Sadler 17; 11 A. 680; 1887 Pa. LEXIS 463

Dolan v. Kelly

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

The parol gift to Edward E. Dolan was good for nothing; and even admitting, which we are not ready to do, that the deed of trust by the elder Kelly to the younger might have been good and irrevocable inter partes, yet as there was no notice of it to Bridget Kelly she, of course, took the title, executed to her, free from that trust. The court below was therefore justified in directing a verdict for the plaintiff.

The judgment is affirmed.
