Supreme Court of North Carolina September 17, 1913 (Harrington v. . Grimes)

Hoke, J.,

after stating the case: Under the old law, the deed in question would have conveyed to N. J. Buckner an estate in fee tail, converted by our statute into a fee simple (Revisal, sec. 1578), and his Honor correctly ruled that plaintiff could make a good title. Decisions in support of this construction of the deed will be found in
