Alfred Henry Lionel Leach, C.J.

1. The appellant was the plaintiff in a suit filed on the Original Side of this Court against her husband, her two sons, and her grandson for possession of a house known as No. 9, Dewan Ramiengar Road, Vepery, Madras. She claimed that the house was her absolute property. The defence was that the house was built in part by monies belonging to the defendants and that they had an interest in it. During the pendency of the suit the husband died and subsequently the parties agreed to a compromise decree being passed. The agreement which was entered into comprised disputes relating to other matters. The terms agreed upon were embodied in a document and the sons filed an application asking for formal leave to compromise the suit and for a decree in the terms of the compromise so far as it related to the suit property. It was necessary for the Court to give formal leave as the grandson was a minor. Notice of this application was served upon the appellant, who resisted it. Before the filing of this suit the appellant was living in the house with the defendants. The filing a the suit led to great bitterness and the appellant went to reside elsewhere. Sh
