Gill v. More
Supreme Court of Alabama
Appeal from Law and Equity Court, Mobile County; Saffold Bernéy, Judge. Bill by Anna S. More and another against Harry Gill to set aside, cancel, and annul the decree in the case of Harry Gill v. Abraham G. More et al. in so far as said decree refers to or in any manner affects or relates to and clouds orator’s, title to certain lands described. From a decree for complainants, respondent appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtThomas, J.
In the instant case the decree is assailed for the want of jurisdiction. The grounds on which it is challenged are: (1) That the complainant in the other suit, Gill, perpetrated a fraud on the chancery court in falsely alleging that at the time of the filing of his bill in the suit in which the questioned decree was rendered he was in the peaceable possession of said tracts of land, and that he owned the same; (2) that after failure to make these complainants parties respondent the court had no jurisdiction to render a binding decree affecting their rights in the real property described.
