62 Me. 44 | Me. | 1874
The plaintiff alleges in his bill that in October, 1851, he and James White, since deceased, upon whose estate the respondent Burrill administers, entered into a written agreement to purchase and hold, as tenants in common, equally interested, certain lands in Ludlow, in the county of Aroostook, particularly described-in
The answers of both the respondents, admit upon information and belief, the truth of the allegations in the bill relating to the agreement, the purchase, and management of the property, in a manner which would create a resulting trust in White, in favor of the plaintiff as to an undivided half of the unsold land. But the administrator says nothing in his answer to indicate that he has any knowledge of the state of the accounts between the plaintiff and White in relation to the common property, and he disclaims any knowledge that White was willing to convey at the time of his last sickness, as alleged in the bill, though he admits this may have been the fact.
Bill sustained ; master to be appointed.
