Omaly v. Swan
18 F. Cas. 689 | U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Massachusetts | 1824
This question has been long since settled by the local law. In Amory v. Fairbanks, 3 Mass. 562, the supreme court of this state affirmed the right; and this court afterwards, in Hatch v. White [Case No. 6,209], recognised the same doctrine. It is too late now to controvert it. Judgment for the plaintiff.
