• 52 Fla. 630

Syllabus

<p>1. A decree in equity cannot be attacked collaterally by a party to the suit in which it was rendered, because of alleged mistakes made by the chancellor in construing the testimony.</p> <p>2. A bill in equity which attacks and seeks to set aside a decree rendered in another suit as a cloud on the title to complainant’s land which does not allege that the decree attacked was obtained by fraud under such circumstances as will give jurisdiction to a court of equity or that the complainant’s title was equitable, or that the lands were wild and uncultivated, or that he was in possession of them, shows no grounds for equitable relief.</p>
