101 Mass. 447 | Mass. | 1869
The demurrer admits that the plaintiff is in possession of one of the rooms in the dwelling-house on the premises, occupying it as her home and claiming title thereto. Tt also admits that the defendants claim title to the premises, including the room, under a deed from Timothy Sullivan tc Thomas Finnegan, and that this is not a valid deed, but con stitutes a cloud upon the plaintiff’s title. The plaintiff cannot maintain a writ of entry to try her title to the room, without abandoning her possession; and therefore she may maintain this bill to remove the cloud from her title. Clouston v. Shearer 99 Mass. 209.
