U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Rhode Island November 15, 1846 (Buxton v. Bowen)

WOODBURY, Circuit Justice.

The original owner of the premises under whom both parties claim, was Benjamin Buxton. It seems to be conceded, that an interest in them passed under his will, amounting to an estate in tail to his son John, and to his son James an estate in fee, held in common and undivided.
