Roundtree v. Stone

STAYTON, Chief Justice.

On March 9, 1883, John C. Gibbons and D. C. Scott instituted against defendants in error an action of trespass to try title, which on November 17, 1883, resulted in a judgment in favor of the defendants, and from that judgment plaintiffs in error seek to prosecute a writ of error on the theory that, as they were then and continued to be minors until within less than two years before perfecting writ of error, and were represented by the plaintiffs as executors of their father’s will and trustees for them under its provisions, they now have the right to prosecute the writ.
