Rankin v. Kemp
Rankin v. Kemp
Opinion of the Court
There was no error in this proceeding. The act of July 1, 1858 (S. & C. 673, sec. 14, § 5), requires guardians of infants to “ appear for and defend, or cause to be defended, all suits” against their wards. Where the guardian appears and answers as such, and his answer is received and acted upon, without objection, by the court, the effect is the same as if he had been expressly appointed guardian ad litem by the court, and had appealed and answered as such.
Motion overruled.
