49 S.C. 329

Nicholson v. Cousar

Supreme Court of South Carolina

Decided April 19, 1897

Supreme Court of South Carolina · decided 1897-04-19

<p>Controversy without action, in the original jurisdiction of this Court, by Sarah G. Nicholson against John C. Cousar.</p>

Decided 1897-04-19

¶1The following order was delivered by

Mr. Chief Justice McIver.

¶2This case was submitted without oral argument at the present (November) term, and the Court, upon looking into the record, finds that there is a question whether this Court can take original jurisdiction in a case of this kind — a controversy without action, which involves the question whether the plaintiff is entitled to have a judgment for the specific performance of a contract for the sale of land — which question has not been considered in the argument submitted.

¶3It is ordered, that the case be set down for reargument at the April term of Court for the year 1897, during the time assigned for the call of cases from the Sixth Circuit. While the attention of counsel is especially invited to the question of jurisdiction above stated, they will not be confined to that question, but may discuss any other question in the case, if they so desire.

¶4After the filing of the above order, upon request of both counsel, the Court granted an order permitting the case withdrawn from the further consideration of the Court.
