Hogue v. Armstrong

Hogue, appellant, exhibited his bill in the chancery court of Adams county, Mississippi, against appellee, Armstrong, seeking cancellation of a deed on the ground that the deed was executed by appellant to appellee, each to the other, for a one-half interest in three thousand acres of land in Adams county, by mutual mistake. Armstrong, answering the bill, denied the allegations of the bill as to mutual mistake, and filed a cross-bill seeking, among other things, a partition of the land in controversy, which cross-bill did not allege that the lands were incapable of division in kind.
