HORTON v. SIMMONS

Supreme Court of Rhode Island. PROVIDENCE.
May 11, 1897

From time to time between 1869 and 1873 a married woman deposited money in a bank for the benefit of her son. Upon her death, her husband living, the son brought assumpsit against her administrator to recover the money: Held, that the coverture of the defendant's intestate was a bar to the action, and the plaintiff's remedy was by bill in equity to establish a trust and for an account.

PER CURIAM.

We think that the coverture of the defendant's intestate is a defence to the plaintiff's suit, and that his remedy is by bill in equity to establish a trust and for an account.
