Supreme Court of the United States March 18, 1825 (Wright v. Denn Ex Rel. Page)

Mr. Justice Story

delivered the opinion of the Court, and, after stating the case, proceeded as follows:

The principal question arising in this case is, what estate Mary, the wife of James Page, took under his will; whether an estate for life, or in fee. If the former, then the judgment of the Circuit Court is to be affirmed; if the latter, then it is to be reversed.
