U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Maryland April 15, 1848 (Lowry v. Commercial & Farmers' Bank)

TANEY, Circuit Justice.

In order to understand the points which arise in this case, it is necessary to state the facts somewhat in detail. Talbot Jones, of the city of Baltimore, died in the year 1834, having first duly made his last will and testament, and appointed his sons, Samuel Jones and Andrew D. Jones, his executors, to whom letters testamentary were granted in the same year.
