Conrad v. Conrad's
green
1 sentence1919The many cases in which this court has approved that rule are collected by Judge Burks in a note to the opinion in Conrad v. Conrad, 123 Va. 711 , 97 S. E. 337 , and need not be cited here. | 1 | 1919–1919 |
State v. Ready
green
1 sentence1918In State v. Ready, supra, the learned chief justice’s statement that on this rule ‘judicial sentiment is altogether out of harmony’ and ‘courts are divided,’ is comprehensible only as an expression of delicate consideration for the Federal Supreme Court’s lonesome decision of Throckmorton v. Holt ; for the fact seems to be that Throckmorton v. Holt is the only case ever decided to the contrary; and the present opinion itself points out the inadequacy of the citation in Throckmorton v. Holt to sustain its decision.” Counsel for the proponent cite the case of Wallen v. Wallen, 107 Va. 131 , 57 S | 1 | 1918–1918 |

Hess v. Rader
green
1 sentence1879It was held in Hess, &c., v. Rader and wife, 26 Gratt. 746 , and Lloyd v. Erwin’s adm’r, 29 Gratt. 598 , that the payment of a bond given for the purchase of land, made by a commissioner of a chancery court, and paid by the purchaser to the commissioner named in the decree, was a void payment, because the commissioner had not given the bond required by the court, and was therefore without authority to collect the bond of the purchaser in his hands. | 1 | 1879–1879 |
