The complaint avers that the complainants “are interested in the reversion of the estate of Ezekiel Y. Peck,” deceased, that Lucretia Peck was the widow of the
The statute provides that, in such cases, “any person entitled to the reversion or remainder” may proceed against the lessee by summary process. It is not averred directly that the complainants were the owners-of the reversion; but we think it sufficiently appears that they were such owners. The averment that they were “interested” in the reversion is perhaps ambiguous. It may mean that they were reversioners, or that they were interested in the estate in some other way. But conceding that averment to he defective, we think the concluding paragraph in the complaint, in which they are described “as such reversioners,” supplies the defect. Erom the whole complaint no one would fail to understand that the complainants were the owners of the reversion ; and we think that is sufficient upon general demurrer, especially in a proceeding like this.
There is no error in the judgment complained of.
In this opinion the other judges concurred.
