71 Ind. App. 477 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1919
— The appellee’s complaint was in two paragraphs. It is alleged in the first paragraph that Nathan Milhollin died testate in 1901, leaving a widow, Mary Milhollin, and three children, William L. Milhollin, appellee, Samuel Milhollin and Allie M. Beuoy, appellants herein, as his only heirs and legatees; that the estate of said Nathan Milhollin was administered and finally settled in the Delaware Circuit Court in 1903; that the widow, Mary, died intestate in 1909, leaving said three children as her sole and only heirs; that an administration was had upon her estate and final settlement made in 1910; that
The errors assigned are that the court erred (1) in overruling a demurrer to the first paragraph of complaint, (2) in each of the conclusions' of law, and (3) in overruling the motion for a new trial. The appellants contend that the court erred in overruling their demurrers to the first paragraph of complaint, and in each of the conclusions of law, for the reason that the final settlement of the estates of Nathan and Mary Milhollin, and of the estate of said partnership are final judgments, determining and adjudicating all the claims mentioned in the complaint and award, and that there were and could be no disputes and contróversies arising out of such estates and partnership to arbitrate so long as the judgments of the court settling said estates and partnership remained in force and effect.
The next contention is that the court erred in overruling appellants’ separate motions for a new trial on the grounds that the facts as found by the court are not sustained by sufficient evidence and are contrary to law, and because of the alleged errors in the admission of certain evidence.
Charles and Allie M. Beuoy were married in 1892
The contention of appellants that the findings of the court are contrary to law is based upon the theory that the disputes and controversies grew out of the final settlement of the Milhollin estates and the partnership. of Nathan Milhollin and sons, and that these claims and controversies were barred by the judgments made and entered in the final settlement of said estates and partnership, and were for that reason not subject to arbitration. We held otherwise in ruling upon the demurrer to the complaint, and need not enter into a further discussion of that subject.
Judgment affirmed.
