Court | Virginia Supreme Court |
Appeal from Circuit Court, Russell County.
Suit by Minnie L. Isaacs against the guardian of H. B. Isaacs. From a decree for defendant, plaintiff appeals. Reversed and remanded.
See, also, 115 Va. 562, 79 S. E. 1072.

Isaacs, subject to the liens of his creditors, and further ascertaining that under the decrees for alimony and suit money there was due the appellant, Minnie L.
