French v. Cardoni
French v. Cardoni
Opinion of the Court
The complainant obtained a decree under
The bill of complaint purported to be filed by James R. French, and, after the stating part and a prayer for relief and a prayer for process, it ended as follows: “And your orator will ever pray. Albert E. French.” It was verified by Albert E. French, who swore “that deponent is the agent of James R. French for the purpose of filing the said bill.” It is now said that the bill was not properly filed and verified, and for that reason the court did not get jurisdiction of the case, and the bill should be dismissed. The case having been tried, after all the pleadings were in, without any suggestion of a want of jurisdiction, we think it too late now to question the jurisdiction of the court. Salisbury v. Miller, 14 Mich. 160; Cleland v. Casgrain, 92 Mich. 139.
The decree is affirmed, with costs.
