Supreme Court of Rhode Island, 1896

Hammond v. Hammond

Hammond v. Hammond
Supreme Court of Rhode Island · Decided March 4, 1896
37 A. 14; 19 R.I. 400; 1896 R.I. LEXIS 119

Hammond v. Hammond

Opinion of the Court

We think that the Municipal Court had no jurisdiction to make the decree appealed from. The former decree determined the manner in which dower should be assigned; and the parties having waived their right to appeal from it, it became final on its entry. Gen. Laws E. I. cap. 264, § 23. The revocation of its action by a probate court, under Gen. Laws E. I. cap. 209, § 11, is to be made before the time for taking an appeal has expired.
