Supreme Court of Virginia
Decided March 15, 1917PublishedCited by 4 opinions
Appeal from a decree of the Chancery Court of the city of Richmond. Decree for complainant. Defendant appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtKelly, J.
*440This suit in equity, for a disclosure and accounting, was instituted by Michael Kelly against S. P. Cowardin, James F. Bradley, Thos. E. Stagg and S. P. Clay, his former partners in a certain construction contract. Pending the suit S. P. Clay died, and the cause was revived against his administrator. This is an appeal from a decree settling the principles of the cause in favor of the complainant and directing an account.
The transactions leading up to this litigation are simple enough in themselves, but any intelligent narration of them must necessarily be somewhat prolix.
