Jones v. Crowell

The appellant, as the guardian of Catherine DeLong, a person of unsound mind, instituted this action under section 399, R. S. 1894 (section 396, R. S. 1881), to be relieved from a judgment alleged to have been taken against a former guardian of his ward through excusable neglect, and .to secure the opportunity to present a defense to the action. A demurrer was sustained to the complaint, and the only question presented for the decision of this court is the sufficiency of the facts therein to entitle the appellant to the relief demanded under this section of the statute.
