Bowdoin v. Jordan

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · decided 1812-06-15

This was a writ of entry, upon which the demandants, in right of said Sarah, recovered judgment at the last September term in this county. After the judgment was rendered, and before a Writ i>f possession was sued out, the said James died. And now, at this teim, N. Bridge, attorney to said Sarah, suggested the above fact, and prayed that a writ of possession might issue on the said judgment in her name.

Decided 1812-06-15

By the Court.

¶1A writ of possession might have been taken out in the name of the recoverors, notwithstanding the decease of one of them; but as the suggestion has been made, let the writ issue in the name of Sarah Bowdoin only. (1)
