Charles Blood, Respondent v. Sarah S. Kane, Appellant

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff, holding that the executrix, who was also the sole devisee, could not assert a counter‑claim because she had not shown that all of the decedent’s debts were paid and thus had not merged title to the estate; the evidence of the counter‑claim was properly excluded. Justice Bradley, dissenting, argued that the exclusion was correct and the judgment should be affirmed.
