Supreme Court of Vermont January 15, 1837 (Sparhawk v. Administrator of Ozias Buell)

lead-opinion

Redfield, Chancellor

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The court have not been so fortunate as to come to an unanimous determination in the present case. They deem the case of much importance, both in regard to the principles involved, and the amount in controversy, and it is to be regretted any diversity of opinion should exist in relation to the judgment now given.
