States v. Morris

27 F. 341 | E.D. Pa. | 1886

Butler, J.

Under the facts stated in the special verdict the defendant is entitled to judgment. The testator having abandoned his residence in this country, and removed to Europe,—where he died,— the legacies provided for by his will are not affected by the act of congress of June 30, 1864. The case cannot be distinguished from U. S. v. Hannewell, 13 Fed. Rep. 617.

The clerk is therefore directed to enter judgment for the defendant.
