U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Rhode Island·Decided June 15, 1828·Published

Opinion

STORY, Circuit Justice.

The answer denies all equity. No contract was made for the sale with the defendant; she received no part of the purchase money; and now insists, that the acknowledgment, such as it is, was involuntary on her part, and produced by the influence of her husband. Under these circumstances, standing wholly uncontradict-ed, there can be no decree for an injunction or any other relief. The bill must therefore be dismissed with costs. Bill dismissed accordingly.
