Buckley v. Beatty

4 F. Cas. 565, 1 Cranch 245

• Court: U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia
• Decided: July 15, 1805
• Status: Published

Opinion

Administrators are bound to plead before the expiration of a year, from the date of the letters of administration.

Mr. Key, for defendant,

objected to pleading, as twelve months had not expired since the death of the intestate. He cannot plead plene administravit, because not bound to pay any debts until twelve months after, &c.
