Bassett v. Loewenstein
Supreme Court of Rhode Island · Decided May 24, 1901 · Rogers, Stiness, Tillinghast
49 A. 97; 23 R.I. 41; 1901 R.I. LEXIS 80

Bassett v. Loewenstein

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

(1) Ball v. Ball, 21 R. I. 90, was a probate appeal in which it was held that under that part of Gen. Laws cap. 251, § 3, relating to “cases decided by any probate court or town council, wherein the party shall have neglected to prosecute his appeal according to law,” thereby necessarily implying a mistake in procedure, a new trial could be granted. This case is not a probate appeal, and therefore that decision is not applicable. Gen. Laws cap. 251, § 2, relates simply tó a mistake, having no reference to a neglect to prosecute an appeal according to law.

The petition for a reargument is denied.
