Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

1Opinion of the Court

POMEROY, Justice.

This appeal results from a proceeding to quiet title (14 M.R.S.A. § 6651) to which defendant Leighton counterclaimed asking that title be confirmed in him.

The judgment of the Superior Court denied the relief sought to plaintiffs, and granted the request of the defendant Leigh-ton on his counterclaim and against plaintiffs on the counterclaim.

This appeal by plaintiffs followed.

We deny the appeal.

The plaintiffs are the administrator, c. t. a., of the estate of Ina Farnsworth, and Ida Belle Huckins, who describes herself as the only heir-at-law of Ina Farnsworth.
