Betts v. Lewis

THIS was an appeal from the District Court of the United States for the northern district of Alabama.

It was a bill filed by Betts against Lewis and wife, under the same circumstances which gave rise to the case of Lewis v. Darling, reported in 16 Howard, 1. It will be seen by a reference to that case, page 6, that Burr H. Betts was one of the legatees in the will of Samuel Betts.

It is not material in the present report to state the nature of the case.

It was argued by Mr. Butler for the appellant, and by Mr. Johnson for the appellees.

Mr. Justice CURTIS delivered the opinion of the court.
