Goddard v. Johnson

31 Mass. 352 | Mass. | 1833

Per Curiam.

It is exceedingly clear, that this was a vested legacy.

We think the husband might have sued alone, had the wife been still living, and consequently that this action may be sustained. It is a well settled principle, that a chose in action accruing to husband and wife during the coverture, vests absolutely in the husband.

Defendant defaulted.
