Supreme Court of Connecticut July 15, 1851 (Plumb v. Sawyer)

Waite, J.

The lands in question having been conveyed to the defendant’s wife, by whom he had issue, he became thereby vested with a life estate, as tenant by the curtesy initiate. This estate was one which he could convey by deed, and which could be levied upon and taken by execution. Starr v. Pease & al. 8 Conn. R. 541. Watson & ux. v. Watson, 10 Conn. R. 77.
