U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit · Decided June 13, 1856
2 Hay. & Haz. 207; 1856 U.S. App. LEXIS 613

Easby v. Easby

Opinion of the Court

This was an appeal from the Orphans’ Court, growing out of the will of William Easby.

Among the questions decided by Judge Purcell was that the widow of Wm. Easby and executrix, associated with others as executors of her husband’s will, could join in letters testamentary with the executors, and after acting with them for several months renounce her right as executrix and be released from her responsibility as such.

The Circuit Court affirmed above decision.
