Caldwell v. Giles

Caldwell v. Giles
Court of Appeals of South Carolina · Decided February 15, 1837 · Harper
11 S.C. Eq. 548

Caldwell v. Giles

Opinion of the Court

Harper, Chancellor.

The Court concur with the Chancellor, that the matters put in issue by the answer are precisely the same as those recorded in the original proceeding, and cannot therefore avail the defendant, by the way of answer to this bill. If it can in any event avail the defendant, it can only be on a bill to set aside the decree for the fraud complained of, and that course of proceeding is the only one recognized by the precedents. Motion dismissed, and the decree of the Circuit Court is affirmed.
