Welchel v. Parker
Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided August 15, 1878 · Jackson
62 Ga. 158

Welchel v. Parker

Opinion

[Wabneb, Chief Justice, was providentially prevented from presiding in this case.]

Where the heirs at law of a person who died in 1847, seek to open transactions between their ancestor and defendant’s testator, which occurred in 1845, by a bill filed in 1876, and no equity arising out of fraud or concealment is clearly and fully set out and specified in said bill, the bill was properly dismissed on demurrer because of the lapse of time.
