Evans v. Lovengood
Evans v. Lovengood
Opinion of the Court
The only ground upon which the plaintiff’s equity can be put, is that fraud was practiced upon the commissioners and their certificate obtained by perjuiy.
The defendant, Drury Lovengood, who is the party enjoined and the defendant, G. W. Lovengood, under whom he claims, both answer, fully denying the allegations of the bill, so far as they have any knowledge, information or belief. They say they have no reason to believe that any fraud was practiced upon the commissioners, or that perjury was committed by the other defendant, Carden, in order to obtain the certificate. On the contrary, they believe the certificate was regularly awarded after a fair investigation, and acting under this belief, the defendant, G. W. Lovengood, purchased the land for a valuable consideration, and conveyed it to the other defendant, Drury : So in this stage of the proceedings, these defendants are to be considered as purchasers for valuable'
Judgment affirmed.
