The trial judge placed his refusal of an injunction and the appointment of a receiver in this case upon the ground that the minor son was interested in the land and the fund; that he had not been properly served in the common law suit, and therefore the judgment or decree sought to be enforced in this equitable petition did not bind him. We think the trial judge was wrong in holding that the infant had an interest which the judgment or decree would bind had he been properly served. Mrs. Goolsby, the mother, is the only person having a direct interest in the land. She has a life estate therein during the life of her husband, John K. Goolsby, with a charge thereon for the support and maintenance of her husband during his life. After his death, the minor, John K. jr., and such other children as may be living at his death, take the fee.
