116 Ga. 476 | Ga. | 1902
The petition in this case was filed after that dealt with in the case of Gaines v. Gaines et al., ante, 475, the present defendant in error being the defendant in the court below. It was filed under the provisions of the Civil Code, §4000. All the questions involved are connected with the distribution of the estate.

No useful purpose will be subserved by quotations therefrom or a detailed
