Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Decided May 15, 1817PublishedCited by 5 opinions

Actor Patten, the supposed trustee, came into Court at the last May term, and made a disclosure, which not being sufficient, a further examination was ordered to be taken before a justice of the peace. Patten refused to submit to such further examination ; and he as well as Buckminster, the principal defendant, both died before the present term, the latter having been defaulted before his death.

1Opinion of the Court

The Court adjudged Patten to be the trustee on his first disclosure, and ordered judgment to be entered against Buckminster as of the last May term, and that execution issue as of that term against his effects in the hands of Patten.
