Fellers v. Rainey

Citations

  • 82 Ill. 114

Syllabus

<p>1. Bill of review—does not lie on finding of court. A bill of review can not be sustained on the ground that the court decided wrong on a question of fact, nor for wrong inferences of the court on matters of evidence, nor on the ground that the decree which is attacked was not warranted by the evidence.</p> <p>2. Fraud—in procuring decree. Where defendants are induced to enter their appearance in a suit in chancery to save the cost of service, and have-ample opportunity to contest the-equities claimed, and nothing is done to prevent their defending, the decree can not be impeached for fraud.</p>
