William E. Hanna, Appellant v. Emory A. Stedman, as President of the Expressman’s Mutual Benefit Association…

Summary

The Court held that the New York interpleader action was not an in rem proceeding and therefore the New York judgment could not bind the Maryland courts. Consequently, the Maryland judgment was the controlling adjudication and was not barred by the Maryland statute of limitations. The Appellate Division judgment was reversed and judgment entered for the plaintiff.
