Ambrose Thompson, Appellants v. John B. Simpson, as Executors

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's directed verdict for the defendants, holding that the directed verdict stands as a jury finding, that a general warranty deed conveys the whole fee estate, that the statute of limitations defense fails, that equitable estoppel does not bar the plaintiffs' title, and that the plaintiffs' alleged acceptance of substitute property sustains the defendants' defense.
