Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court November 15, 1872 (Farnum v. Peterson)

Wells, J.

Whatever may have been the nature and extent of the title or right which Campbell acquired from How and others, and conveyed to the defendant, it was not an absolute or perfect one. The right of redemption from the mortgage held by How and others remained outstanding in Jonas Davis as heir of Elnathan Davis. That right does not appear to have been foreclosed in any manner.
