Town of Watertown v. Greaves
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
In Error to the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Massachusetts.
1Opinion of the Court
BROWN, District Judge.
This writ of error is brought to review the rulings of the circuit court for the district of Massachusetts in an action of tort for the recovery of damages for injuries caused by a defective sidewalk.
The first question to be considered is that of jurisdiction. The plaintiff below sued as a citizen of Rhode Island. It is contended for the town that upon the evidence the plaintiff below was not a-citizen of Rhode Island, and that the court erred in the instructions to the jury as to the right of a married woman, deserted by her husband, to establish an independent domicile.
