Hi,
I've been doing research on a family during the 1850s and discovered a few cases with them involved that came before the Court of Chancery. In one case, a son of the family found himself opposed against his father. In another case another son opposed his father, mother and a third boy. He was of minor age and his "next friend" was the man living at the same address of the family. The first case is of a financial nature (I didn't get the file of the second case yet).
I find this all highly curious. Was this a recurrent practice? Has anyone found something similar or read about it?
Hope someone can help me somewhat.
Hans
