| Parties | Thomas Conly v. Michael Conly |
| Court | United States State Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts Supreme Court |
Middlesex. Tort for malicious prosecution. At the trial in the Superior Court, before Putnam, J., the jury found for the defendant, and the plaintiff alleged exceptions to certain rulings of the judge. The defendant afterwards died, and his administratrix appeared and moved to dismiss the action, on the ground that it did not survive.
Action dismissed.
J. H. Butler, for the administratrix.
W. P. Harding & A. V. Lynde, for the plaintiff.
OPINION
It is useless to consider the merits of the plaintiff's exceptions, because, if they should be sustained, the action could not be further prosecuted, having been abated by the defendant's death since the exceptions were allowed. Gen. Sts. c. 127, § 1. Nettleton v. Dinehart, 5 Cush. 543. Cummings v. Bird, 115 Mass. 346.
Action dismissed.
