In re Codman

284 F. 273, 1922 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 1204

District Court, D. Massachusetts·Decided August 29, 1922·No. No. 2328·Published·Cited by 4 cases

Opinion

MACK, Circuit Judge.

I have given careful consideration to the very able argument, supplemented by the essay in the Harvard Law Review,¹ on behalf of the petitioners, and if I had not been satisfied in advance that the reasoning adoptee} by the United States Supreme Court and the courts of the states other than Massachusetts were sound, I should assuredly have been convinced by the argument.

But concededly it is the law of Massachusetts that governs the right of the parties, and I am equally well satisfied that the decisions cited on behalf of the petitioners have not effected a change in the principles so long established in Massachusetts.

The petition for review must be dismissed, and the order of the referee affirmed.
