Jackson v. Hodges

The Chancellor:

— Bill filed on the 4th of May, 1871, ostensibly to remove a cloud from the title of the complainants, as heirs or the descendants of heirs of Carroll Jackson, deceased, in and to lot No. 81, in Nashville, hut in reality as an ejectment suit in equity for the recovery of said lot. The defendants have answered the bill without raising any objection to the jurisdiction of the court, and the case has been tried on its merits. The easiest and -clearest mode of understanding these merits is by a historical statement of the facts in the order of time in which they occurred.
