Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court October 15, 1853 (Slade v. Slade)

Thomas, J.

The ruling of the presiding judge is sustained by the decision of this court in Foot v. Knowles, 4 Met. 386. Upon an examination of that case, and the authorities upon, which it rests, we are satisfied it was rightly decided.

It is suggested by the learned counsel for the plaintiffs, that the St. of March 2d, 1829, was not in the mind of the court when Foot v. Knowles was determined.
