Goodridge's Heirs v. Fitch 9 B.Mon. 562, Court of Appeals of Kentucky (September 25, 1849) 1849 Case stated. THE complainants, who are the heirs and legal representatives of George C.

Gracey v. Davis 22 S.C.Eq. 55, Court of Appeals of Equity of South Carolina (November 01, 1849) 1849 Where a deed is set aside as interfering with the rights of creditors, it is as to those creditors as if it had never existed. The effect of setting aside a deed which interferes with the rights of creditors, is to leave the creditors to enforce their claims and obtain satisfaction according to their legal priorities, or for the Court, if it take...   Cases  
Graham v. Davidson 10 Ired. 245, Supreme Court of North Carolina (August 01, 1849) 1849 Although it does not expressly appear, it must be understood from the manner in which the case is stated, that the gift of Cato from his grand mother to the plaintiff was by parol, and that the delivery was to the father for the plaintiff, then an infant probably. Such being the case, it may, at the least, be a question, whether the plaintiff could...   Cases

Gray v. Armistead 6 Ired.Eq. 74, Supreme Court of North Carolina (June 01, 1849) 1849 The answers of Armistead and Latham, as well as that of Corprew, are evasive and unfair, and, taken in connection with the testimony, create a strong suspicion, that the facts are, that, in January 1842, Corprew, being pressed for money and his property being all under execution, borrowed of Latham $650, at a premium of ten per cent, to be returned...   Cases  
Gray v.

Green v. Phillips 6 Ired.Eq. 223, Supreme Court of North Carolina (August 01, 1849) 1849 The answer does not confess the equity set up in the bill. It is not evasive, but is a fair response to all the allegations. This is sufficient to dissolve the injunction, as to the amount of the disputed payment. We do not express any opinion as to the disputed facts, as the case may be retained and brought to a final hearing. The interlocutory...   Cases

Hailes v. Ingram 6 Ired.Eq. 477, Supreme Court of North Carolina (December 01, 1849) 1849 The only fact in dispute is, whether Sarah Hailes made the sale as executrix or as legatee. We are satisfied from the exhibits and proofs, that she made the sale, as legatee. The bill of sale is executed by her and Alexander Hailes, and does not purport to be executed by her, as executrix. The sale was not made in the manner, in which sales are...   Cases

Hammock v. McBride 6 Ga. 178, Supreme Court of Georgia (January 01, 1849) 1849 [1.] On general principles, a judgment is binding and conclusive on parties and privies, until reversed or set aside by a legal proceeding; and it cannot be collaterally questioned by third persons, except on the ground of fraud and collusion, in the procurement of it. Creditors or bona fide purchasers may attack a judgment fraudulently obtained,...   Cases  
Hansley v. Hansley 10 Ired. 506, Supreme Court of North Carolina (December 01, 1849) 1849 The divorce act requires all the material facts charged to be submitted to a jury, upon whose verdict, and not otherwise, the Court is to decree. It excludes, by necessary implication, from the consideration of the jury, admissions in the pleadings, and, consequently, any made orally on the trial. The purpose is to prevent collusion. That reason...   Cases

The facts in the case are sufficiently set forth in the opinion of the court. Mr. Nelson contended that neither of the exceptions was well taken. The first, because...   Cases  
Harrington v. Roberts 7 Ga. 510, Supreme Court of Georgia (November 01, 1849) 1849 [1.] Both administrators are parties to the suit below, and to the judgment sought to be reversed; and we are of opinion that both should have joined in the bill of exceptions and writ of error. The doctrine is well settled, that where there are two administrators, one cannot maintain an action alone. 1 Chitty's Pl. 53. 9 Coke, 37, (Hensloe's...   Cases

Hart v. Roper 6 Ired.Eq. 349, Supreme Court of North Carolina (December 01, 1849) 1849 The maxim, ignorantia legis neminem excusat, is founded upon the presumption that every one, competent to act for himself, knows the law; but the presumption that he knows it is not conclusive, but may be rebutted. Therefore, when a plaintiff alleges in his bill, that he was ignorant of the law, and the defendant demurs, it seems that...   Cases  
Harven v. Springs 10 Ired. 180, Supreme Court of North Carolina (August 01, 1849) 1849 We think his Honor erred in his instruction to the jury, and there must be a venire de novo. On the trial, a copy of the will of Thomas Kendrick, the father of the feme lessor of the plaintiff, was offered in evidence, and opposed, upon the ground that it did not appear from the Clerk's certificate, that it had been proved as a will to pass real...   Cases  
Hatcher v. Hampton 7 Ga. 49, Supreme Court of Georgia (July 01, 1849) 1849 [1.] In applications to a Court of Equity, for an injunction to restrain a trespass, the bill must allege peculiar circumstances, to show that the injury is irreparable and the Common Law remedy insufficient. [2.] The mere allegation that the defendant is felling the timber of the complainant, is not enough, without further averment as to some...   Cases  
Hayden v. Cornelius 12 Mo. 321, Supreme Court of Missouri (January 01, 1849) 1849 1st. It was error in the court to admit the parties, Woods and Todd, makers of the trust deed, to testify, so as to change the terms of the deed, and diminish Hayden's interest in the funds secured thereby, and increase their own. 1 Mo.

Herring v. Wilmington & R.R. Co. 10 Ired. 402, Supreme Court of North Carolina (December 01, 1849) 1849 The position is not tenable, that whenever damage is done, the law implies negligence. But where the plaintiff shews damage, resulting from the act of the defendant, which act, with the exertion of proper care, does not ordinarily produce damage, he makes out a prima facie case of negligence, which cannot be repelled, but by proof of care, or some...   Cases The case or administrative decision is no longer good law for at least one of the points it contains.
Hill v. Hill 22 S.C.Eq. 94, Court of Appeals of Equity of South Carolina (November 01, 1849) 1849 Where there is a general decree for a settlement, during the life of a wife, the equity of the wife is always intended to embrace the interests of her children, unless by the terms of the decree the children are excluded; and if the wife die after such a decree, the Court will execute it for the benefit of the children.   Cases
