APPEAL REFUSED
Old Caroline Deed Not Set Aside TO
Avoid Payment Of Judgments.

An appeal was refused Saturday in
the State Supreme Court in Richmond,
in the case of Is. 4. Battaile. admin
strator of f.. c. G.. White and f.. b.
White, for himself and other heirs at
law. against ID. b. Powers, from the
Circuit Court of Caroline county.
As far back as 1869 +. {. G.. White
appears to have executed to his broth
er, Lawrence b. White, a deed to GER
tain property, conditioned upon his sup
port for the remainder of his natural
life. f.. G. G.. White is said TO have
been mentally helpless for many years
prior to his death, which occurred on
June "a Of this year. after the record
in the appeal case had been made up.
The suit itself involves certain judg-
ments secured against Lawrence h.
White, who has been dead some years,
and an attempt was made to except
from the payment of these the property
conveyed by the man whose mentality
was affected. However, the refusal Of
the appeal means that the judgments
must be paid. 1t was argued in the
petition that a judgment for money
cannot be rendered upon writ Of scire
facias.
