Supreme Judicial Court of Maine April 10, 1935 (Pierson v. Pierson)

Pattangall, C. J.

On motion by defendant. Action for damages based on an alleged unlawful alienation of husband’s affections by his mother. The rule governing such cases is well settled in this state. They may be maintained only when malice on the part of defendant is proved. We find no such evidence in this record.

Plaintiff and Boyd Pierson were married on July 7, 1933.
