Edwards v. Massey |
1 Hawks 359, Supreme Court of North Carolina (June 01, 1821) |
1821 |
But it was wrong in the Court below to dismiss with costs, and we may appeal for costs--(Ambler 521--1 Vern. 250--1 Brown 141.) The original power of Chancery was to give costs when the bill was founded on false suggestions, but they were never given on a case that was fit for consideration, but only where there were no just grounds for the... |

This bill is brought by the heirs of Daniel Foster to set aside as fraudulent, the conveyance made by him of the land in question, to the Defendant, and for no other purpose--that is the prayer of the bill. It is true there is a general prayer, and under that general prayer relief may be given: provided it be in accordance with, and not... |

Where the jury found a verdict, in support of a parol gift made in these words, the court supported it, viz: I beg you to recollect I have given that horse to my son. If the intention of the donor be doubtful, it seems, the delivery ought to be fully proved. If the intention to give be evident, slighter proof of delivery may be... |

The only cases in which a party can aver against the consideration expressed in his own deed are when it is illegal or fraudulent; and a person cannot allege that a bill of sale was not given by him at the time the contract was entered into, but three or four weeks afterwards.

George v. Richardson |
Gilmer 230, Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia (April 04, 1821) |
1821 |
There is no error in the decree to the prejudice of the appellants; but it is erroneous, as it respects the appellee, in allowing interest on the 50l. from January 1806, instead of the 1st February 1801. The decree is therefore reversed, as to this, and affirmed for the residue. Costs are allowed the appellee, as the party substantially prevailing. |

The heavy costs accumulated by a protracted litigation, have made this suit very important to the parties; and though the two items for funeral charges amount together to but ten shillings, yet whether the Defendant be liable to pay them, depends upon principles which are not to be understood without some research. I must own that the argument,... |

A deed is not void against a subsequent purchaser, merely because it is voluntary, even though the person making it should owe some inconsiderable debts at the same time. Where personal property is conveyed by a husband to a trustee, for the benefit of his wife and children, the subsequent possession of the husband is consistent with the object of... |

The law adjudges the possession to be in the person who has the right; and such constructive possession is sufficent to enable the owner to maintain an action of trover. Where there is an unlawful conversion, no demand is necessary; and any withholding of the property against the will of the owner is evidence of conversion. A defendant, after... |
