Syllabus
<p>Equity Practice—-Demurrer to Bill for Want of Equity-—-Deed to a Firm in its Firm Name is Not Void.</p> <p>1. A general demurrer to an entire bill for want of equity should be overruled where the case made by the bill entitles the complainant to any substantial relief in a court of equity.</p> <p>2. A deed made to a firm by the firm-name, instead of the individual members of the firm, is not for that reason void. It is a latent ambiguity that may be explained and supplied by parol testimony.</p>
