SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Decisions Rendered in Atlanta, (la.,
November 2, 1875—Hon. Hiram War
ner, Chief Justice —Hons. L. E.
Bleckley and James Jackson,
Judges.
[Atlanta Constitution. !
Green, Executor, vs. Akers. Rule from
Troupe.
WARNER, C. J.
This case came before the court be
low on an issue formed between C. E.
Akers and Fisk, as to who was entitled
to the money in the sheriff’s hands,
arising from the sale of fifty acres of
land, as the property of Samuel Akers.
Ou the trial of the issue, the jury un
der the charge of the court, found a
verdict in favor of C. F. Akers. The
case is brought here on a bill of excep
tions, alleging error in the charge of
the court to the jury, and to the ad
mission and rejection of evidence of
fered at the trial. It appears from the
evidence in the record, that on the Bth
of May, 18b6, Samuel Akers executed a
mortgage to F. M. Fisk on certain de
scribed lands, including the fifty acres,
from the sale of which the money
in controversy was raised, to secure
the payment of certain promissory
notes therein described. Pending the
rule nisi for the foreclosure of the
mortgage which was resisted by Sam
uel Akers, the defendant therein, he
proposed through his attorneys, in
writing, to the attorneys of the plain
tiff, for the purpose of settling all the
litigation then pending between them,
on the following terms, to-wit: “To
allow Fisk to take a rule absolute upon
the mortgage made to him by Samuel
Akers, allowing Frank Akers (meaning
O. F. Akers) fifty acres of laud, situ
ated in the vicinity of LaGrange, Geor
gia, and that said Akers (meaning
Samuel Akers) will dismiss his action
for words against F. G. Fisk ; and the
damage suit upon attachment against
F. M. Fisk.” This proposition in
writing was agreed to and signed by
the attorneys of both parties on the
18th of November, 1868, C. F. Akers
being one of them. C. F. Akers was
allowed to testify, over the objections
of Fisk’s attorneys, “that part of the
consideration of the fifty acres of laud
in the foregoing agreement was the
giving up by him to F. M. Fisk’s at
torneys a four hundred dollar draft
given by Fisk to his father, on P.
Pease, and that the intention of the
agreement was to allow him the use of
the mortgage or to assign him the lion
of the mortgage on the fifty acres of land.
To the admission of this testimony, the
counsel for Fisk exoepted. Fisk then
offered to prove that although Samuel
Akers had dismissed his suits at No
vember term 1868, that soon after the
adjournment of the court, he renewed
the litigation by claiming the land
when levied on by the mortgage fl.
fa., had obtained a homestead on
it and sold the homestead to
third parties. The testimony thus of
fered was ruled out by the court, and
Fisk by his counsel excepted. Fisk
then offered to prove by the testimony
of J. and D. N. Speer, two of the attor
neys who signed the written proposal
for settlement of the 18th of Novem
ber, 1868, that it was the intention of
the parties to that agreement that
Fisk should be allowed to proceed to
collect his money with the mortgage.#.
fa. without auy further litigation from
Samuel Akers, and it was so agreed
and understood at that time, and that
this was the main consideration for the
release of the fifty acres of land. This
testimony so offered was also ruled
out by the court, and Fisk by his coun
sel excepted.
It was competent for C. F. Akers to
testify' what was'the agreement be
tween the parties, and as to the con
sideration of that agreement, but it
was not competent for him to testify
its to what was the intention of that
agreement. Inasmuch as it was com
petent for C. F. Akers to testify ’as to
what was the agreement of the parties
and the consideration therefor, it was
also competent for J. & D. N. Speer,
the other parties to it, to testify in re
buttal what was the agreement of the
parties, and what was the considera
tion for it, as they proposed to do. The
distinction between the testimony of
Akers and that offered by the Speers
is this: Akers stated what was the “in
tention of the agreement,” without
stating what was the intention of the
parties to that agreement, whereas the
Speers offered to testify what was the
agreement and the intention of the
pa-ties to that agreement, and the
consideration therefor. The ruling out
ofithe testimony of the two Speers,
wlfceh was offered in relation to that
point in the case, was error.
The theory of C. F. Akers* claim to
t hi* money in the sheriff’s hands, as dis
closed by his evidence, was, that Fisk
had agreed, in consideration of the pro
posed settlement between his father,
Samuel Akers, and himself, to assign to
him, C. F. Akers, his mortgage lien on
the fifty acres of land for his own bene
fit, as compensation for professional
services rendered in the suits which
were to be dismissed, for his father.
Samuel Akers, and the giving up of the
draft on P. Pease. The theory of Fisk’s
ci.im to the money was, that the asign
ment of the lien of the mortgage on the
fifty acres of land was made by Fisk in
consideration that he should be allow
ed to make the money due on his mort
gage fl. fa. out of the other land cover
ed by his mortgage, without any fur
ther litigation by Samuel Akers, and
that it was so agreed and understood
between the parties at the time, but
that the said Samuel Akers in viola
tion thereof, renewed the litigation
by interposing a claim to the land
levied on, taking the homestead there
on, and selling the sams, etc., and has
thereby wholly defeated the collection
of the money due on his mortgage
fl. fa., all of which he proposed to
prove, which the court refused to
allow him to do. This was error. The
court should have allowed the evidence
to have gone to the jury, and let them
have decided from the evidence what
was the true agreement between the
parties, and the consideration therefor.
This being an equitable proceeding to
distribute money in the sheriff’s hands,
it would be competent for the jury, if
the pleadings shall be so framed as to
authorize it, to so mould their verdict
as to protect the rights and interests
of the respective parties, and do jus
tice between them as they may believe
from the evidence they are respectively
entitled.
Let the judgment of the court below
Ug reversed.
Speer & Speer, for plaintiff in error.
No appearance for defendant.
The hopeful offspring of John Henry
appeared, yesterday afternoon, with a
portion of his pantaloons, which shall
be nameless, protruding after the fash
ion of a lady’s pannier. “Good heav
ens! Arthur,” said the fond mamma,
“what have you been doing with your
pantaloons?” “Well, you see, mamma,
I cracked a piece out of pop’s razor,
peelin’chestnuts, an’p’r’aps he might
get mad about it when he gets home,
an'go to foolin’ round.” John Henry
says he extracted from that pannier
four towels, one cashmere shawl, one
bifurcated garment with insertion on
the lower ends, two pairs of striped
hose, and some new-fangled apparatus
made of India-rubber, with a tube to
fclow it up. Arthur is in bed.

AMERICAN CYCLOPIDIA
HEW REVISE!) EDITION.
ENTIRELY REWRITTEN BY THE
ABLEST WRITERS ON EVERY
SUBJECT.
Printed from New Type, aiui Illustrated with
several Thousand Engravings and
Maps.
The work originally published under the
title of THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLO
PEDIA was completed in 18(53, since which
time, the wide circulation which it has at
tained in all parts of the United States, and
the signal developments which has taken
place in every branch of science, literature
and art, have iuduc-ed the editors and
publishers to submit to an exact and thor
ough revision, and to issue anew edition,
entitled
THE AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress of
discovery in every department of knowl
edge has made anew work of reference an
imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has
kept pace with the discoveries of science,
and their fruitful application to the indus
trial and useful arts, and the convenience
and refinement of social life. Great wars
and consequent revolutions have occurred,
involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own coun
try, which was at its height hen the last
volume of the old work appeared,
has happily been ended, and a
new course of commercial and in
dustrial activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our
GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE
Have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the
last decade, with the natural result of the
lapse of time, have brought into public
view a multitude of new men, whose names
are in every one’s mouth, and of whose
lives every one is curious to know the par
ticulars. Great battles have been fought
and important sieges maintained, of which
the details are as yet preserved only in the
newspapers or in the transient publications
of the day, but which ought now to take
their place in
PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC HISTORY.
In preparing the present edition for the
press, it has accordingly been the aim of
the editors to bring down the information
to the latest possible cates, and to furnish
an accurate account )f the most recent
discoveries in science, of every fresh pro
duction in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as
to give a succinct and original record of
of the progress of
POLITICAL and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and
careful preliminary labor, and with the
most ample resources for carrying it ou
to a successful termination.
None of the original stereotype plates
have been used, but every page has been
PRINTED ON NEW TYPE,
Forming in fact anew Cyclopfedia, with
the same plan and compass as its predeces
sor, but with a far greater pecuniary ex
penditure, and with such improvements
in its composition as have been suggested
by longer experience and enlarged knowl
edge.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS,
Which are introduced for the first time in
the present edition, have been added not
for the sake of pictorial effect, but to givo
greater lucidity and force to the explana
tions in the text. They embrace ail
branches of science and of natural history,
and depict the most famous and remarka
ble features of scenery, architecture and
art. as well as the various processes of
mechanics and manufactures. Although
Intended for instruction rather than em
bellishment, no pains have been spared to
insure their
ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE.
The cost of their execution is enormous,
and it isbeiived they will find a welcome
reception as an admirable leature of the
Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high charac
ter.
This work is sold to subscribers only,
payable on delivery of each volume. It
will be complete in Sixteen Large Octavo
volumes, each containing about 800 pages,
fully illustrated with several thousand
Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.
