U.S. Circuit Court for the Dis...1825Check Treatment

My opinion is, that the objection is fatal. The courts of probate have no right to put a person under guardianship, as unfit to manage her affairs, without notice to the party, and an adjudication on the facts; and until such adjudication, no letters of guardianship can legally be issued. The case of Chase v. Hathaway, 14 Mass. 222, is directly in point, and with that case I entirely concur.
Verdict for the plaintiff.
