Upon the Petition of Gay
5 Mass. 419
Opinion
By the Court. This is but a chattel, which the administrator may dispose of in the same manner as he may of the personal property of his intestate. He has no occasion for a license from this Court.
Note. J. Richardson, who presented the petition, said he had so instructed the administrator, but, to remove all doubt, he had moved the question to the Court for their opinion.
