Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion

By the Court :

We are of opinion that the answer of the defendants, in so far as it denies that there had been a final settlement of the accounts of Bateman, and denies that a final decree had been entered in the Probate Court upon such settlement, was sufficient in form and substance to defeat a motion for judgment in favor of the plaintiff on the pleadings.

Judgment reversed, and cause remanded for a new trial. Remittitur forthwith.
