Opinion

(December Term, 1829.)

When, pending litigation, plaintiff is appointed guardian of defendant, the action will be dismissed.

From JONES. Upon the opening of this cause it appeared by a copy of the order of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions for the county of Jones that pending this suit the plaintiff has been appointed the guardian of the defendant.


Much danger may arise from allowing such a practice. It is therefore ordered that unless the plaintiff shall, at or before the calling of the cause at the next term, show that he has resigned the said office, the bill shall be dismissed, with costs. Dismissed.
