KeJy, admioiatrator, etc., vs. Leslie O. Carter. Motion to dismiss, under Relief Act, 1870. From Walton. MoCAY, J, An affidavit by an administrator, in » suit pending in his favor, on a debt con tracted with liis intestate before the first of June, 1865, that “according to the beat of liis knowledge and belief and in formation all legal taxes had been paid on the same for each year since the same came into his possession os administrator, except for the years I860 and 1870, de ponent being advised that tho note was so doubtful of collection that he wus not required to pav taxes on the same for the years 18G9 and 1870, being then consid ered doubtful if not uucollectablc," is a substantial compliance with the 1st sec tion of the act of October 13tli, 1870. 2d. The foot that a widow and minors are interested as distributees, with other heirs and creditors of an estate, does not bring a suit on a note due an intestate and in suit by an administrator, within the 14th section of tho Act of October 13tb, 1870, so ns to excuse the filing an affidavit and proof at the trial that all legal taxes due on tho debt have been paid. Judgment reversed. Walker k McDaniel, for plaintiff iu error; J. W. Arnold, Ilillyer k I5ro, for defendant. R. M. Smith vs. M. Y. Brand—new trial from Wulton. McCAY, J. When on a bill filed for an account and settlement of the affairs of a partnership, there was an answer and tbe parties at issue, on the bill and answers, and there was a verdict for the plaintiff, and a mo tion for a new trial, on the ground that the Court erred iu refusing to continue the cause, and it appeared ou the hear ing of the motion by the sworn state ments of the absent couu.sel, that one of them was prevented from attending Court by providential cause, and the other be- cuuse the Judge hud informed him, in open Court, ut the regular term at the time he had fixed the day for the adjourn ed term at which the case was tried, that he had given Mr. Walker leave of abseuco from the adjourned term, aud that none of his cases would be tried; thatMr. Walker a leading counsel for the plaintiff in this case, aud was counsel in all the cases in which the absent counsel was employ ed; that ho had bo publicly notified the Court, and thut trusting to this, ho had not attended the said adjourned term; Held, That it was no abuse of the dis cretion vested in the Judge, in such coses, to grant a new trial. Walker k McDaniel, W. W. Clark, Hillyer k Bro., for plaintiff in error; J. W. Arnold, Glenn & Dunlap, J. J. Floyd, for defendant. Eliza Faircloth vs. Wm. St. Johns. Ejectment, from Mitchell. McCAY, J. 1, Where A bargained land to B, tak ing his notes for the purchase money, giving his boild for titles, and afterwar as indorsed one of the notes to C, who in dorsed it to D, and B having paid some of the purchase money, abandoned the land, and A having died, his administra tor took possession of the land. Held, That tho imlorser and minor children of A are entitled to a homestead in the land as agaiust a judgment obtain ed by D on tho indorsed note against B as principal, and A and C os indorsers. The equity of B, under his bond for titles, with some of the purchase money paid, to pay tho purchase money and demand a title, does not, in such a case, make tho lien of the judgment paramount to the homestead. 2. If, nt the time of the sale of land by the sheriff, an application be pending for a homestead iu favor of the family of the defendant, and notice thereof be given at the sale, tho purchaser buys subject to the homestead. Judgment reversed. J. J. Bradford, W. A. Byrd, Vuson k Davis, Clark k Goss, for plaintiff iu error; W. E. Smith, G. J. Wright, for defen dant. James Seymour vs. II. Morgan. Injunc tion from Dougherty. McCAY, J. 1. Equity will not interfere to re strain a trespass, unless it affirmatively appears that the darnago will be irrepara ble, or from tho insolvency of the tres passer, or other cause, the remedy at law is incomplete. 2. A sheriff has no authority to put a purchaser of real estate, at a sheriff’s sale, in possession, if to do so it is nec essary to turn out a purchaser, from tho defendant in execution whoso title is an terior to tho date of the judgment, even though it bo true that, for some reason, tho judgment was a lien anterior to its date, so that tbe purchaser gets a good title. Judgment affirmed. Vuson k Davis, Clark k Goss, for plaintiff iu error; H. Morgan fer de fendant. It. G. Fulgum vs. The Macon and Bruns wick Railroad Company. Assumpsit, from Pulaski. MoCAY, J. Where there was a subscription of stock to a railroad company, and when due, tho payment of the amount sub' scribed was demanded by the compuuy, and payment was refused : Held, That it was not necessary for tho company to show that it had issued, or offered to issue the certificates of stock as a condition precedent to a right of recovery on the subscription. Judgment affirmed. Hausell k Hansell, Clarke k Spencer, for plaintiff in error; 8. Hall, Charles 0. Kibbee, by Reporter, for defendant. John Adulph vs. J. W. Josey, asdminis- trator, etc. Motion to set aside verdict, from Webster. McCAY, J. , When a motion was made to set aside a verdict on the ground that the defend ant—the losing party—was prevented from attending tho trial by serious sick ness: Held, That in such a case it is not ncc essary to file a brief of the testimony given at tho trial, and it may be error in tbe court to refuse the motion for that witness, and was examined in full upon the ease, and during the trial a bill of in dictment, with a plea of guilty, for the same beating, and a judgment affixing a fine of two hundred dollars was intro duced by the defendant in mitigation of damages, and after the evidence was closed and the argument of the counsel on both sides to toe jury concluded, the court permitted the defendant to be re introduced for the purpose of stating facts calculated to show that he had pleaded guilty under a mistaken impres sion derived from the Solicitor General, that it would be cheaper to plead guilty than to uttempt to defend, and that the lino would be veiy small: Hkld, That if no reason wus shown why this evidence was not offered before the cose was closed and the argument heard, tho admission of it at the time wus not fair to the plaintiff, and a new trial ought to be granted. Judgment reversed. Hawkins k Guerry for plaintiff iu error; B. 8. Worrill, J. L. Wimberly, by W. A. Hawkins, lor defendant. J. R. Wilooxon, et al., vs. Johu H. Cook, Ordinary. Injunction, from Coweta, McCAY, J. 1. The Ordinary of a county has no au thority, under any general law of this State, even withlthe recommendation of the grand jury of the county, to borrow money on the credit of the county, aud if, for this purpose, he issue county bonds and sell them, the oounty is not liable on the bonds so issued. 2. On a proper case made by bill in the name of citizeus in the oounty—tax pay ers—it is the duty of the Judge of the Superior Court, as Chancellor, to restrain until the hearing, on the merits, an Or dinary from ordering fsuefi bonds to bo paid by the Treasurer of the county, pro vided thut the injunction be so framed as nut to interfere with the right of tho bondholders—who are uot parties to the bill—to the use af every remedy allowed by law, through the courts of law and equity to test and enforce any claims they may set up against tho county in the premises. J udgment reversed. S. Freeman, L. H. Feutberstone, J. B. S. Davis, J. S. Bigby, aud Hugh Buohanan, for plaintiff in error : H. Wright, Douglass, for defendant Wm. Akridgo and George W. Allcorn vs. L. A. Patillo. Award. MONTGOMERY, J. 1. Where a controversy is submitted to arbitration nnder the Code, and the arbi trators and parties have several meetings, at the first of which only two of the ar bitrators are present and no objection is made by either party at the time to tho absence of third arbitrator; it is too late, on motion to make the award the judg ment of the Court, to object to such mo tion on the ground of the absence of the third aroitrator from the first meeting, especially whero the arbitrators were unanimous. 2. Where numerous objections ore filed to an uward, on the ground that the -ward was the result of accident, ox mis take, or fraud of some one or all of the arbitrators or parties, or is otherwise il legal, all of which objections are, in ef fect, objections because the award is con trary to evidence, or the weight of evi dence; the testimony submitted to tbo arbitrators should be before this Court to enable it to pass intelligently upon tho objections made. Nor will the fact that the objections were demurred to for in sufficiency dispense with this. Judgment affirmed. Clark k Puce, by E. P. Howell, for plaintiffs in error; Walker k McDaniel, J. A. Billups, for defendant. D. Good k Son vs. Nicholas Rawlins, Sheriff. Rule against Sheriff from Tu- laski, MONTGOMERY, J. 1. Where a sheriff is ruled by a plain tiff iu ti. fa. and answers, to which an swer a traverse is filed, and plaintiff, at a subsequent torm, proposes to withdraw his traverse and substitute another, it is impossible for this Court to say that the Court below abused its discretion in al lowing tho shoriff a continuance on the ground of such substitution, unless we had the new traverse before us. 2. It is not necessary, under Revised Code, section 3898, that the consent of tho mortgagor, mortgagee and plaintiff in fi. la. levied, to sell tho entiro (eo in tho land levied on, should bo in writing. 3. It follows, that where one, purport ing to bo tho agent of the mortgagor, gives such consent, it is not necessary that the agency should bo created by writing. 4. A ratification of the act of such agent by the mortgagor—supposing tho ageut had no authority at tho time of sale—is valid under Revised Code, sec tion 21G5. 5. It is not necessary for tho Court to apply tho law, given iu charge to the jury, to tho facts of tho case, when application is plainly apparent. Judgment affirmed. H. C. Duncan, W. L. Grice lor plain tiff iu eiror; Hansell k Hausell, Pate k Ryan by Clark k Spencer, for defendant. Neil McICay,|Thos. J. Fletcher and R. H Fletcher, administrators, vs. Richard Roe, casual ejector, und Geo. Kendrick and Cornelius Coffee, tenants. Eject ment from Sumter. MONTGOMERY, J. I. Where a defendant iu ejectment relies ou seven years adverse possession under color of title, he can claim, under such title, only so much of the land as the largest description iu his deed will embrace. . 4l 2. If, at the time his grantor makes tho deed to him, such grantor, by accident or design, points out more laud than the largest description iu the deed will em brace, and the defendant takes possess ion of tho whole tract so pointed out, he is in, as to the overplus,ouly by iliepwhs postessio, aud caunot set up prescriptive title as to that part unless lie has so held it for twenty years. 3. The lessor of the plaintiff cau re cover of a mere intruder upon prior pos session alone. , 4. Where the lessor of the plaintiff is ejec ted, lie cannot be said to have voluutar ly abandoned, because he does not resume, ]>OH8Cssion immediately ou tho laud becoming vacaufc again, especially where the defendant’s witnesses testify that no such vacancy over occurred. Judgment reversed. Hawkins k Guerry for plaintiff in error. Hawkins k Burk© for defendant. c!t. Goode, C. B. Wootton, for plain tiff in error; B. B. Worrill, by W. A, Hawkins, for defendant. W. D. Owens vs. Mark L. Bannders. Cose from Webster. McCAY, J. Giles Jackson vs. The State. Voluntary Manslaughter, from Dougherty. MONTGOMERY, J. 1. Whero in a trial for murder it ap peared that deceased had threatened cUAi j. prisoner’s life, whereupon prisoner left Where, in an action for damages for | the field where the quarrel took place, an assault und battery by the defendant ■ returned in about twenty minutes aud upon tho plaintifl, the defendant was a‘said, if deceased was going to whip lnm he was now ready for him, and deceased advanced upon him, pistol in hand, upon which prisoner shot and killed deoeased, and the jury return a verdiot of voluuta ry manslaughter, this Oourt will not dis turb the verdict. 2. Provocation by threats will in no case be sufficient to free the person kill ing from the crime of murder, or from manslaughter if the circumstances re dnee the homicide to that grade. 3. Where counsel for prisoner oon sents that the jury may return their ver dict to the Clerk, it Implies a oon sent that they may disperse after having done so; and if the verdiot so returned is one for “manslaughter,” not specifying the grade, it is not error in the Court to or der tho jary to reassemble and ohuugo tlicir verdict to either voluntary or invol untary manslaughter (and the jury do change it to voluntary manslaughter), unless the prisoner can show that one or more of tho jury have been tampered with, or that his case lias been othor wise prejudiced by reason of tho dis persing of the jury, to the evidence. The finding iu this case is uot coutrury Judgment affirmed. G. J. Wright for plaintiff iu error; no appearance for the State. Geo. P. Thomas k Co., si al., vs. G. M. Stokes, administrator. Injunction, from Sumter. MONTGOMERY, J. Where the Judgo of the Superior Court, in tho exercise of his di^cretiou, grunts or refuses an injunction, this Court will not interfere, unless such discretion lias been manifestly abused. ; Judgment affirmed. N. A. Smith, by R. H. Clark; P. Cook, W. A. Hawkins for defendant. Wm. Keen vs. James W. Rouse, Ordi nary, etc. Mandamus, from Worth. MONTGOMERY, J. A sheriff is not entitled .to costs on tux fi. fas., whether for State or couuty taxes, uulefs the same be collected from defendant*. Nor does the fact that the fi. fas. issued illcg illy under order of tho inferior court alter the rules. Judgment affirmed. D. H. Pope, by J. D. Pope, for plain tiff in error; Harris k Smith for defend ant. N. and A. F. Tift, plaintiffs iu fi fa. vs. D. A. Nowsom, defendant in fi fa., aud Elizabeth Newsom, claimant. MONTGOMERY J. Where a factor makes advances to a planter, and takes a lieu Upon tho grow ing crop under Revised Code, section 1,977, such advances aro lu the uature of puichase money, and the lien is, there fore, superior to tho wife’s title, where the crop was set apart to her as person alty under the homestead laws, after it was mado. Judgment reversed. D. H. Pope, Hines k Hobbs, Clark k Goss, for plaintiffs in error; no appear ance for defendant. Sarah E. Lewis, Administratrix, vs. Joel R. G Horne. Relief. MONTGOMERY, J. Where a widow, as administratrix of her husband, sues ou a note made prior to Juno 1st, 1805, and offers to prove thut herself and her minor children arc the sole heirs of her i ntestate, that there ure no creditors, aud that the entire assets of the estate are less than the amount exempt under the homestead laws, the case should not have been dismissed for want of the tax affidavit under the Relief Act of 1870. Had tho proof been made, it would havo biought the case within the 14th section of that act. Whero a tax payer returns notes field by him in bulk, ut what ho considers them worth, aud pays the taxes regular ly on tho gross amount so returned, it is sufficient compliance with the Act to car ry tho case to tho jury. Judgment reversed. Hawkins k Guerry, for plaintiff in er ror; W. A. Hawkins, for defendant. Jacob Ililcy, cxccuto -,vs. A. S. Hartridge. Relief, from Macon. MONTGOMERY, J. 1. Where a defendant permits judg ment to be obtained against him, after the passago of tho Rolief Act of 1868, ho has Lad his day iu court, and cannot af terwards open tho judgment to let iu tho defense provided for the Act. 2. Where a levy was mailo prior to tho Relief Act of 1868, but no sale bos taken place, the plaintiff in ff. fa. is not obliged to attach liis affidavit of tho puymeut of taxes to the execution under the fifth section of the Act, so long as ho takes no steps to force a sale. Judgment reversed. W. A. lluwkins, for pluintiff iu error; Eli Warner, for defendant. Wm. H. Brcwor, agent for Kapp und David, vs. James M. Brondficld. Re lief from Sumter. MONTGOMERY, J. Upou a motion to dismiss n suit for the want of the affidavit required by the Relief Act of 1870, it is not error in the Court to hear and pass upou the cvidenco offered iu support of the mo- tion, especially where no objection is made al the time. No allegations iu the dcclurution, which, if true, would exercise the pay ment of taxes under tho Relief Act of 1870, will dispense with tho affidavit re- juired by tho Act, unless sworn to. Judgment affirmed. Hawkins k Guerry for pluintiff iu er ror; C. T. Goode for defendant. 19-P-O-9-0PW •aSUNVAt &LKXOV •his vxiatuvpc <ikv avouu uoo : sollio •IflJUI 3IT1 si 3NIH0YW 9NIM3S (Ci:!AV EITTiXi Dr. Wm. S. Armstrong.
