Moore's Lessee v. Few

1 U.S. 170, 1 Dall. 170

Opinion

the Chief Justice

delivered the opinion of the Court, that the word transfer, being used among the disabilities to which Non-jurors are subjected by the act of Assembly, passed the 13th of June 1777, the testator John Hunt, under whose devise the plaintiff’s title was made, being at the time of his death a Non-juror, was incapable of devising lands and tenements.

And consequently the defendants, claiming under the heir at law, had judgment.
