Supreme Court of Arkansas · decided 1887-11-15
J. E. Riddick, Judge. STATEMENT. This was originally a proceeding in chancery to set aside and to declare fraudulent and void, a deed made by O. A. Hadley, governor, to E. R. Knight, for section 16, T. 10-W., R. 9 E. The court refused to take jurisdiction of the cause in equity, and it was transferred to the law docket, and, by an amended complaint, made ejectment for the recovery of the land.
