®}c Constitutionalist AUGUSTA, GA..z Friday Morning, October, 1, 1875. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Decisions Rendered in Atlanta, Oa., September 28, 1875.—1i0n. Hiram Warner, Chief Justice—Hons. L. E. Bleckley and Janies Jackson, Judges. Bell vs. Hawks. Motion, from Clay. WARNER, C. J. This was a motion to set aside a judgment in Clay Superior Court. It appears from the record before us that on the 9th day of December, 18G1, the plaintiff obtained a judgment against the defendant for the sum of $118.35 for his principal debt, with interest and cost of suit. Afterwards, at the March term of said Superior Court, 1869, the defend ant in said judgment made a motion to set it aside, on the ground that the consideration of the debt on which said judgment was obtained was for the hire of a negro slave. On the hearing of that motion, the court rendered the following judgment: “It appearing that the consideration in the above stated case (the names of the parties and judgment being stated) was for negro hire; ordered, that said judgment be set aside as well as the ft. fa. from it.” At the March term of said court, 1874, the plaintiff in the original judgment made a motion to set aside the judg ment rendered in 1869, setting aside his original judgment obtained in 1861, on the grounds that said order and judgment of 1869, as appear on the face thereof, were based on a ground wholly unknown to the law, but were in violation of the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this State; that the court had no j urisdiction to set aside the j udg ment of 1861, on the ground stated in the order and judgment of 1869; and because the order and judgment of 1869 were passed and rendered without any notice to the plaintiff of the mo tion therefor. On the hearing of the motion to set aside the order and judgment of 1869, the court sustained it and ordered that judgment to be set aside. Whereupon the defendant in the original judgment of 1861 excepted, and assigns the same as error. There was no error in setting aside the judg ment of 1869, on the statement of facts disclosed in the record. My individual reasons in support of the judgment of the court below will be found in the case of Prescott vs. Bennett, 50th Geo. Rep. 266, and in my dissenting opinion in the case of Tison vs. McAfee, 50th Geo. Rep. 234, and in my dissenting opinion in the case of Fannin vs. Dur den, not yet reported, (see pamphlet decisions of last terra, page 94) and will not be again repeated here. — The plaintiff in error insisted on the argument before us, that inasmuch as the original judgment was rendered in 1861, and more than seven years having elapsed from the date of that judgment before the motion to set aside the judgment of 1869 was made, the judgment of 1861 had be come dormant, and for that reason the motion to set aside the judgment oi 1869, should not have been allowed. The reply is, that the statute prescrib ing the time within which judgment liens shall be enforced or become dor mant, is a statute of limitations, and the statute of limitations was suspend ed uutil the 21st of July, 1868, and therefore, the judgment of 1861, was not dormant when the motion to set aside the judgment of 1869 was made in 1874. But it was not the judgment of 1861, the plaintiff made his motion to set aside, but the judgment of 1869, and the seven years had not run from the date of this last named judgment, until tiie motion to set it aside at the March term of the court 1874. We re cognize the rule that notice should have been given to the plaintiff of the mo tion to set aside the judgment of 1861 when it was made in 1869. Let the judgment of the court below be affirmed. R. E. Kennon, for plaintiff in error. Jno. T. Clark, for defendant. Jackson, J., having been of couusel, di l not preside in these cases : Lester vs. Piedmont and Arlington Life i usui mice Company. Motion for new trial, from Sumter. Piedmont and Arlington Life Insu rance Cos. vs. Lester. Motion in arrest of judgment, from Sumter. BLECKLEY, J. 1. A verdict in a case founded on contract, where no issuable defense is tiled on oath, is illegal. The court must take the responsibility of rendering judgment without a jury. Under the < Constitution an issuable defense, on oath, is required to put the case before the jury, or to give them any power whatever to deal with it. 2. A letter introduced as evidence need not ali be read by the party who introduces it. It is all in evidence, and either party may read from it such parts as serve his purpose — Bth Ga. Rep. 318. 3. If, construing the declaration al together, including a copy of the writ ten contract declared upon, whether such contract be embodied in thefdec laration or annexed to it, the amount claimed by the plaintiff and the time when it was payable, can be arrived at with reasonable certainty, the want of direct averments on these points will not be cause for arresting the judg ment. 4. To subject an insurance company, under the statute, to damages and at torney’s fees, a demand for the amount due on the policy, and a refusal to pay sixty days before suit is brought, must be plainly averred. In the absence of a distinct averrment to that effect, the judgment, as to these items, will be arrested. Judgment affirmed in the first case, and reversed in the second. N. A. Smith, for plaintiff in error in the first case, and for defendant in the second. R. F. Lyons, contra. Carmichael vs. Greer, Lake & Cos. Com plaint, from Macon. BLECKLEY, J. 1. A letter saying that the writer is interested in a firm, and requesting his correspondent to sell goods to the firm on time, is evidence to charge the writer, as a member of the firm, for all goods so sold and delivered, on the faith of the letter, until notice of disso lution. 2. A retiring partner, to protect him self against responsibility for future purchases by the partnership from a house with whom the partnership has dealt on credit, must give notice of his retirement, and the burthen of proving notice is on hkn. 3. Credit extended to a firm on the iaith of representations by a person that he is interested in the same, will create a debt against him as a partner. 4. The letter relied on in the pres ent case imports, on its face, interest as a partner, and not liability as a guar antor. 5. Representations, not admissions, are the main elements in this case; and refusal to give in charge the law of ad missions does not constitute material error. 6. To constitute one a partner as to third persons, it is only necessary that he should hold himself out as such to those trusting the partnership; it is not necessary that he should, in fact, be interested in profits and losses. 7. Where the question is as to the liability of the defendant as a partner, growing out of credit given on the faith of his representations that he was in terested in the firm, it is not error to repel evidence that another member of the firm, in the absence of the former and without his consent, used and signed the firm name in other trans actions. 8. The verdict is not contrary to law, or to evidence, or to the charge of the court. Judgment affirmed. Loyd & Goode, by brief, for plaintiff in error. No appearance for defendants. Brown vs. Oattis, et al. Claim from Quitman. BLECKLEY, J. 1. If several attorneys represent the losing party in the trial, and all of them but one, on a motion for anew trial, file an affidavit to their ignorance of the iucompeteucy of a juror, and there is no explanation in the record why a similar affidavit from this one is omit ted, it ought to be presumed that he knew of the juror’s incompetency. In respect to such a matter, knowledge by any one of the party’s counsel is equivalent to knowledge by the party himself. 2. The admission of evidence not ob jected to is no cause for new trial. 3. If the court, without objection, ad mit in evidence the declarations of a person respecting his title, where there is some evidence that the declarations were accompanied with possession, but where other evidence in the case tends strongly to negative the fact of such possession, it is not error for the couit to leave the final decision of that ques tion to the jury, under appropriate in structions. 4. Proof that the original of a record ed deed is in another State, the house of a person residing there, not a party to the suit, sufficiently accounts for its non-production to admit the re cord of it in evidence. Under such facts, there is no presumption that no tice, if given to the adverse party, to produce the original, would be avail able, and, therefore, such notice is un necessary. 5. There being strong evidence against the verdict, and the court below hav ing granted anew trial, this court will not interfere. Judgment affirmed. A. Hood, Wm. Harrison, James H. Guerry, Guerry & Son, for plaintiff in error. B. S. Worrill, Goode & Toney, James Wimberly, James T. Fiewellen, for de fendants. J. G. Stephens vs. S. D. Bostrick, de fendant, and A. H. Tucker, claimant. Claim, from Lee. JACKSON, J. 1. A mortgage executed in May, 1873, of six bales of cotton, growing and be ing grown and produced on a planta tion in Lee cJunty, known as the Jesse Tucker plantation, and cultivated by the mortgagor, said bales to average 500 pounds each, to be covered with bagging and bound with iron ties, and “to be delivered in good order and condition at the warehouse of Welch, Bacon & Cook, in Albany, Georgia, on or before the 15th of October next,” is sufficiently specific in the description of the particular bales mortgaged. 2. If it be proved to the satisfaction of the jury that six' bales of the crop of cotton so grown, ginned and packed were delivered at said warehouse, the cotton will be sufficiently identified as that described in the mortgage, and will be subject to execution issued thereon. . 3. Such an instrument properly exe cuted and recorded, to secure the pay ment of a promisory note given for ad vances to make the crop, is a valid mortgage, and may be foreclosed under section 3371 of the Code, and it is error in the court to dismiss the levy there on, because “the affidavit of foreclosure is not made in compliance with the statute on foreclosure of liens.” 4. A mortgage may be of part of a growing crop, if the part mortgaged be so described as to be identified by parol evidence, and whether so identified or not, is a question for the jury under the proof. Judgment reversed. Thomas R. Lyon, by R. F. Lyon, for plaintiff in error. D. H. Pope, by Jack son & Clarke, for defendant. Richard Gwinu vs. S. S. Mitchell, de fendant, and J. J. Smith, claimant. Claim, from Sumter. JACKSON. J. 1. Where the fact exists in the knowledge of the levying officer, that there was no personal property to be found whereon to levy the execution, it is not error in the court to allow him to take the entry nunc pro tunc. 2. Wiiere such entry of nunc pro tunc is made at the term of the court pre ceding that of the trial, unless the judg ment allowing such eutry bo excepted to at the term when rendered, under section 4254 of the Code, it will not be considered by this court in the bill of exceptions certified at the trial term of the claim case. 3. A mortgagee may purchase the mortgaged land sold under a tax exe cution, and if the sale be fair, and there be no fraudulent collusion between him and the mortgagor, the Sheriff’s title to him will be good against a judgment creditor whose lien is older than the mortgage, especially where the tax execution is older than the mortgage. 4. Where, in such case, the mortga gor has had the land set apart as a homestead, and by proceedings in chancery and direction of the chancel lor, has mortgaged the same to the mortgagee, and the mortgagee, after his purchase at the Sheriff’s sale under the tax execution, takes a deed from the mortgagor and his wife, with the approval of the Ordinary, to clear away all cloud from his title, he is not estopped on the trial of the claim case from denying title in the mortga gor subsequent to the Sheriff’s deed. Judgment affirmed. B. P. Hollis; DuPont Guerry, for plaintiff in error. N. A. Smith, for defendants. Patrick K. Shields vs. Mayor and Alder men, of Savannah. Injunction, from Chatham. JACKSON, J. Where the complainant alleges in his bill that he has been in possession and enjoyment of certain lands in the city of Savannah for thirty years, and that the city officers have notified him to remove his fence therefrom within five days, or it will be done by them forth with, as an encroachment upon astreet, and where the bill states further that said land has never been dedicated, or occupied, or used, as astreet, and where there is no answer filed, or cause by affidavit shown by the defendant why an injunction should not be granted, but the facts stated in the bill are ad mitted by demurrer, the court should grant the injunction. Judgment reversed. Rufus E. Lester. Meldrim-& Adams, for plaintiff in error. W. S. Basinger, by Jackson & Clarke, for defendant.
