Perry v. Walker

Court of Appeals of South Carolina · decided 1802-07-01

TRESPASS to try title to 323 acres of land in Lancaster district. Nonsuit ordered. Motion to rescind the order of the circuit court, and to restore the cause on the docket. The plaintiff produced a grant to one John Hoad, dated 6th June, 1736, for 323 acres of land.

Decided 1802-07-01

The presiding judge (Bay)

¶1was of opinion, that as there had been no partition or division of the property, and as plaintiff had claimed the whole, and not his third or u.ndi-*462vided interest only, that he could not maintain this suit, and therefore ordered a nonsuit.

¶2This was, therefore, a motion to set aside this nonsuit, •which was ordered accordingly, upon the principles and authorities of the next preceding case of M'Fadden and wife v. Haley.

All the Judges present.
