T. M. Strider & Co. v. Western Casualty & Surety Co.
| Decision Date | 26 October 1942 |
| Docket Number | 35084. |
| Citation | 10 So.2d 350 |
| Court | Mississippi Supreme Court |
| Parties | T. M. STRIDER & CO. v. WESTERN CASUALTY & SURETY CO. |
Suggestion of Error Overruled Nov. 23, 1942.
Creekmore & Creekmore, of Jackson, for appellant.
Lotterhos & Travis and Vardaman S. Dunn, all of Jackson, for appellee.
It would probably take from fifteen to twenty pages to make a statement of this case and the controlling principles of law, and when done there would simply be a statement of the issues of fact found against the appellant by the Special Master and the Chancellor on sufficient evidence and well established principles of law announced by decisions of our court and other authorities. Therefore, such an opinion would be of no value whatever to the bench and bar of the State generally. For those reasons we refrain from writing an opinion to go into the official reports of the decisions of the Court.
Under Strider & Company's contract and bond appellee is entitled to a reasonable attorney's fee for the services of his counsel in this Court, which we are of opinion would be $150. Accordingly judgment here will include that.
Affirmed.
