Jackson ex dem. Hull v. Babcock

Aug 15, 1809
Versions:4 Johns. 418
Per Curiam.

The instrument of writing, given by Goodrich to Hitchcock, was a mere license, or personal privilege to inhabit; it conveyed no title to the premises. As soon as Hitchcock sold the premises to Cragie, it put an end to the privilege granted by Goodrich. The plaintiff is clearly entitled to recover.

Judgment for the plaintiff.
