Mississippi Supreme Court January 15, 1850 (Connell v. Mulligan)

Mr. Justice Smith

delivered the opinion of the court.

The appellee, Mulligan, filed his bill on the equity side of the circuit court of Hinds, to compel Patrick Connell to convey to him the one half of lot No. 56, south, in the city of Jackson. A decree was pronounced, in conformity with the prayer of the bill, in May, 1846; and the cause comes before us by an appeal granted on petition in 1847.
