Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided February 25, 1936PublishedCited by 24 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtRugg, C.J.
The plaintiff brought this suit in equity against the defendant, who was then his wife, seeking to recover certain of his personal property alleged to have been taken by her. By an amended answer the defendant alleged by way of cross bill or counterclaim that prior to the marriage she lent the plaintiff $10,000, which had never been repaid. At that trial the issue as to the personal property of the plaintiff was adjudicated. It was held that the defendant could not recover against the plaintiff under her amended answer because of coverture. Giles v. Giles, 279 Mass. 284.
