Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court March 13, 1917 (Morin v. Kirkland)

Carroll, J.

The plaintiff on March 8, 1907, married James Kirkland who had falsely represented to her that he was unmarried; the plaintiff, relying upon the statement, supposed it to be true. They lived together in Lowell from that time until his death in July, 1913. Previously, in 1890, Kirkland had married Mary Grady and one of the defendants, Samuel W. Kirkland, is a child of this marriage.
