123 Ga. 295; 51 S.E. 373; 1905 Ga. LEXIS 446

Gray v. Wright

Opinion of the Court

Candler, J.

1. A consent decree will not be set aside because, “ through accident and mistake,” one of the consenting parties failed to introduce evidence which was in his possession and which might, if submitted on a trial, have resulted in the rendition of a decree different from the one which was taken by consent.

2. It is not error to refuse to entertain a petition to enjoin the cutting of timber on land which, by a decree to which the plaintiff consented, has been legally adjudged to be the property of the defendant.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur, except Simmons, C. J., absent.
