Recent Important Decisions, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Adverse Possession - Tacking - To a suit in ejectment, defendant pleaded, (z) the statute of limitations of seven years, claiming adverse possession for that length of time; (2) also twenty years' adverse possession as a basis for the presumption of a grant. The possession relied upon is partially that of defendant's predecessor, between whom and defendant there was no privity. Held, (I) the defense of the statute of limitations is without merit. Successive possessions cannot be tacked to make up the period of that statute unless connected by privity; (2) but no privity is necessary to raise the presumption …

Safeguarding the Criminal Defendant - Every now and then a new attack is made somewhere in the United States upon the rule prohibiting comment before the jury upon the fact that the defendant in a criminal case has not testified as a witness in his own behalf. At the present time an effort of this kind is being made in the Michigan legislature, and the introduction of the bill drew quite a little storm of protest from the State press as a dangerous inroad upon our ancient guarantees of personal liberty and security. In fact, however, it directly touches nothing …

Transfer And Partition Of Remainders In Missouri, The, Manley O. Hudson Feb 1917

Transfer And Partition Of Remainders In Missouri, The, Manley O. Hudson

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

The common law gave to vested remainders many of the qualities of present estates, and most of the questions arising in connection with their transfer have long been free from difficulty. But contingent remainders occupied such a precarious place in the law long after they were first recognized as legal interests, that all questions as to their transferability were approached with exceeding reluctance. The contingent remainderman had only a mere possibility of an estate, and the employment of such a description was in itself sufficient to conjure difficulty, for possibility to the common law lawyer was a dangerous word. A …

Extension Of Judicial Review In New York, Edward S. Corwin

Michigan Law Review

There are several reasons why it should be worth while to investigate the operation of the most unique of American governmental institutions in the most important state of the Union. For one thing, in the person of Chancellor KZN" New York furnished one of the founders of American Constitutional Law, while at the same time it was KzNT's fame that early gave New York decisions the importance they still retain in great part in the field of citation and precedent. Again it was YNT'S influence that inclined the fresh shoot of constitutional jurisprudence in New York in a conservative direction, …

Carmack Amendment In The State Courts, Wayland H. Sanford

Michigan Law Review

Prior to the leading case of Adams Express Co. v. Croninger,'- decided January 6th, 1913, there was much diversity in the decisions of the state courts as to the validity of contracts between shippers and carriers limiting the amount of the carrier's liability for injuries to goods shipped. Such limitations were held valid in some states, but invalid in others, and in some were declared invalid by statutes or constitutional provisions.2 State rules were applied to interstate as well as intrastate shipments, it being supposed that Congress had not legislated upon the subject. The CARMACK AmlNDVNT of i9o6s provided that …

Michigan Law Review

Adverse Possession Mistake - From a decree quieting in plaintiff title by adverse possession, defendants appealed, contending that plaintiff claimed the land only under and by virtue of a will which in fact conferred no legal title, and that such a claim was not adverse. Held, assuming that plaintiff believed he was asserting legal rights only, and that his claim of title was defective, his possession would nevertheless ripen into title by adverse possession. Erickson v. Crosby, (Neb. 1916) x6o N. W. 94.
