Thomas Roberts, Appellant v. Caroline D. Ely, as Executors

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the plaintiff's claim to recover a portion of the insurance proceeds was barred by the six‑year statute of limitations under Code of Procedure § 91. The claim arose from an implied liability when the money was received, and the limitation period began at that time. The Court also explained that a trust relationship does not per se remove jurisdiction from courts of law.
