An important Decision.

Inpertant is the decision rendered by
the full bench of the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts in the case of Fanny E.
Emery VS.. Horace H. Burbank, execu-
Tor OF the will of Eliza beth A. Rumery
Tt holds that an oral agreement made in
Maine to the effect that if the plaintiff
would leave that state and take care Of
Mrs. Rumery, the latter would leave the
plaintiff all her property at her death,
and also put $4,000 into house which
the plaintiff should have, is invalid
within the meaning of the statute of
1883, chapter 372, and cannot be enforced
in Massachusetts. That statute requires
an agreement to make a will to give
property on the promisor's death to be
IN writing, signed by the party whose es-
tate is to be charged, in order to bind his
estate.
This action was brough to recover
SIS, 600 damages for the breach by Mrs.
Rumery of an agreement made in Maine
in 1890 to make such provision by will
for this plaintiff. The latter left Maine
in June, 1890, and lived with and cared
for Mrs. Rumery until October 81, 1891.
This action was brought after the death
of Mrs. Rumery,i it then appearing that
she had not made any provision for the
plaintiff.
