Turner v. Singleton's Dev.

Court of Appeals of Kentucky

Decided October 6, 1819

Court of Appeals of Kentucky · decided 1819-10-06

<p>Parties claiming as devisees, must shew themselves to be so by the production of the will.</p>

Decided 1819-10-06

The Chief Justice

¶1delivered the opinion of the court.*

¶2The decree in this case in favour of the appellees, cannot be sustained. They assert their right as devisees of Edmund Singleton, but his will is not produced, and its non-production is not accounted for, nor is there any other proof which, if the absence of the will had been accounted for, could be substituted in its place.

¶3The decree must be reversed with costs, and the cause remanded, that the bill maybe dismissed with costs.

¶4 Absent, Judge Rowan.
