Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court January 22, 1877 (Southwick v. Morrell)

Endicott, J.

The relief prayed for in this bill rests mainly on the refusal of the defendant, who is co-executor with the plaintiff, to sign a petition to the Probate Court for license to sell real estate in this Commonwealth for the payment of certain debts, one of which is secured by mortgage on land in Maine, and is not payable until the death of the defendant.
