Benj. P. 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

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.

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.

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.

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

2. If, at the time his grantor makes tho
deed to him, such grantor, by accident
or design, points out more laud than the

2. Provocation by threats will in no

Liberty mtul be preserved or loet Tbe
Corraptioniete of the day—the Bond
Binge—tbe Ambitione enemies of free
government--are artfully, penuteatly
paving tbe wav to the overthrow-of-the
Federal Republic, founded by Washing

tablishment of a Centralised Empire end
» Dynasty in its stand.
THE PEOPLE cau prevent this it
they will. They can retain their free
dom, or they can become alaves. The
destiny of this country is to be decided
by tho peojili’t volet!
If the Democratic party will bnt utattd
(irmly npon itk time-honored platform,
and erect the standard of Lununx, and
honesty in (lie administration of the gov
ernment, a glorious triumph will be
achieved. Victory is within oar grasp.
The enemy ia giving way—is receding
from Lie utter disregard of bur and Con
stitutional guarantiee. Mow ia the time
for a. vigorous charge npon his wavering
lines.
The Hum, has been sowing tho gaed
seed of truth. It has already brewght
forth good trait. We shall oon tin as to
sow tho seed, and shall expeeta rich
harvest to ha reapad in tha triumph of
honest principles in the next election.
We trust our patrons will aid ns in as-
tending tho circulation ot Tax Sue. We
bave.eutered upon onr enterprise to assist
in the great work of redeeming the ooontry
from the control of robbers, tyrants and
money-cliaugors, who are infesting the
temple of Liberty. Tkeir tables must be
overturned and pubiie opinion moat
scourge them from the public presence.
We shall give all the new* from Mm
State Capital—proceedings of tbe Legis
lature—decisions of the Supreme Court,
turd all important news and events non
nested with tbe State Government; and
shall endeavor to make Tea Sue a we learn n
family visitor.
