CONGDON v. HERSEY

Supreme Court of Rhode Island.
Mar 1, 1852

The Supreme Court, after reversing a decree of a Court of Probate dismissing an application for the appointment of a guardian, will not themselves appoint the guardian, but remand the case to the Court of Probate for that purpose.

The court being of opinion that said Hersey was a person who was likely to bring himself and family to want, and render himself and family chargeable, refused themselves to appoint a guardian, but remanded the case to the Court of Probate, with directions to appoint a guardian forthwith.
