Chapman v. Tuberville
Virginia Chancery Court · Decided February 15, 1810 · Chancellar
4 Va. 482
Chapman v. Tuberville

Opinion of the Court

By the Chancellar.

The usual practice in this Court has been, to appoint a friend to defend an infant, and I see no necessity for departing from it: and unless the guardian who was appointed, can find some other friend, who will act for the infant, the last order may be discharged 5 for it really does seem as if there was some collusion in this case, from the great length of time it has been in this situation. No other person was named, and the last order was discharged.
