Young v. Watson
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Writ or entry, to recover a life estate in certain real estate in North Attleborough. Trial in the Superior Court, before Sherman, J., who excluded certain evidence offered by the demandant, and ordered a verdict for the tenants; and the tenants alleged exceptions. The nature of the evidence appears in the opinion.
1Opinion of the CourtAllen, J.
One Sweet had recovered possession of the demanded premises from the demandant Young, and we infer from the tenant’s answer, though the fact is not otherwise stated, that Sweet subsequently conveyed the premises to the tenants, so that they stand in his place.
In the action of Sweet against Young, the latter entered an appearance by attorney, and filed an answer. Afterwards, the attorney signed an agreement that judgment be entered for the demandant, Sweet, but that the demandant take no costs. Judgment was accordingly so entered, and execution issued, and Sweet was put in possession.
