Julius H. Moore v. William A. Littel, Appellant William Beard v. Stephen C…

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower courts' judgments, holding that the children of John Jackson possessed a vested remainder in fee simple under the Revised Statutes, making that interest alienable and transmissible by the partition deeds, thereby giving the plaintiff title to the portion conveyed. The dissent argued that the remainder was contingent and that the plaintiff was not entitled to the claimed fee interest.
