18 Mass. 198

Curtis v. Bailey

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Decided October 15, 1822

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · decided 1822-10-15

Joshua Stetson, guardian of a person non compos mentis, had been removed by the judge of probate of the county of Plymouth, and the appellant appointed guardian in his place.

Decided 1822-10-15

Per Curiam.

¶1The Court are of opinion, that’the judge of probate was correct in admitting the appellee to exhibit the account. It may happen, that other persons must necessarily take the place of a guardian in settling an account; for instance, where a guardian dies. It does not appear, by the statute, that it must be settled upon the oath of the guardian. The judge of probate might have sworn the appellee.1

¶2 See Baylies v. Davis, post, 206.
