Crocker v. Black

16 Mass. 448 | Mass. | 1820

Curia.

The same principle applies in this case, as in actions of trespass. The title to real estate may, and indeed must necessarily come into question in actions like this at bar. For the plaintifi must show a right, or at the least a possession, before he can put the defendant upon his defence. Let full costs be taxed for the plaintiff.
