John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance v. Hill's Estate

Michigan Supreme Court

Decided December 30, 1895PublishedCited by 1 opinion

Certiorari to Wayne; Donovan, J. The John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company had judgment upon a contingent claim against the estate of William R. Hill, deceased, and Elmira Bement, an heir of the deceased, brings certiorari.

1Opinion of the CourtGrant, J.

This involves the same facts and the same questions as the preceding case. It is brought into this court by the writ of certiorari by another heir appellant.

We held in John Hancock, etc., Ins. Co. v. Durfee, 97 Mich. 613, that a writ of error was the proper remedy. The writ must therefore be dismissed, with costs.

The other Justices concurred.
