In re Bonner

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Decided March 15, 1808PublishedCited by 4 opinions

The petition prayed for partition of two several parcels of land, one of which was described as in the county of Lincoln, and the other in the county of Kennebeclc.

1Opinion of the Court

It was observed by the Court, that it would be improper to pro ceed upon the petition. There may be issues of fact joined as to each of the tracts of land, which must be tried in the respective *114counties wherein the land lies. There ought, therefore, to have been several petitions for the land in each county.

Heard for the petitioners

Such petitions were afterwards presented, and notice ordered returnable at the next terms of the Court in Lincoln and Kennebeck respectively.
