Kimball vs. Moreland, et al., executors.
Complaint, from Troup.
WARNER, C. J.
This was an action brought by the
plaintiff against the defendant on an
alleged promise and undertaking by
the latter to purchase from the plaintiff
a certain described execution against
Harris, which belonged to the plaintiff,
and to pay him therefor the sum of
SI,OOO, with interest on the same at the
rate of odo and a half per cent, per
month until paid. The promise and
undertaking declared on by the plain
tiff is contained in letters written by
the parties to each other and annexed
to the plaintiff’s declaration and made
a part thereof. On the trial of the case
the defendant demurred to the plain
tiff’s declaration, on the ground that
no valid and binding contract was set
forth therin, which demurrer was over
ruled by the court, and the defendant
excepted. The case then proceeded to
trial, and the jury, under the charge of
the court, found a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff for the sum of $579.97,
with interest at 18 per cent, per
annum from the 30th of May, 1874. A
motion was made for anew trial on
the several grounds stated therein,
which was overruled by the court, and
the defendant excepted. It appears
from the evidence in the record that
the defendant was the owner of a settle
ment of land which he had obtained from
Harris in right of his wife, that there
were judgments and executions against
Harris to which the land was subject,
and that the defendant was desirous to
purchase the same in order to protect
his title to the land. The plaintiff had
an execution of that description, and
the letters set forth in the plaintiff’s
declaration related to the purchase of
that execution. In our judgment, the
letters annexed to the plaintiff’s decla
ration written by the defendant to the
plaintiff, in relation to the purchase
and sale of the execution, furnish am
ple evidence of a purchase of it by the
defendant, and a sale thereof to
him by the plaintiff, including the
terms of the sale, as well as
the consideration to be paid
therefor. The plaintiff proposed to
take SI,OOO for the execution
with interest thereon at one and a half
percent, per month until paid; SSOO to
paid in twenty days, and SSOO in sixty
days, and until that amount was paid,
the fi. fa. was to remain the property
and in possession of the plaintiff, and
upon the payment of the money, the
plaintiff hid obligated and bound him
self to transfer the ji. fa. to the de
fendant without recourse. The de
fendant accepted and agreed to this
proposition as appears from the cor
respondence between the parties. There
was no error in overruling the demur
rer to the plaintiff’s declaration. There
was no error in striking the defend
ant’s plea in relation to the statement
of the plaintiff in regard to the setting
aside of the judgment as alleged there
in against Harris on account of Judge
Bull’s absence from the court. The plea
did not allege that the plaintiff made
any false and fraudulent misrepresent
ations to the defendant to induce him
to purchase the execution, knowing
the same to have been false and
fraudulent, which would have consti
tuted any legal defense to the plain
tiff’s action. There was no error in ad
mitting in evidence to the jury the let
ter of the 17th of September 1873, on the
ground of variance. The plaintiff in his i
declaration did not pretend to set forth ;
the letters in totidem verbis, but in sub- j
stance only. It also appears from the
evidence in the record, that the lands
of A. S. Harris, were sold by the sheriff
of Troup county, on the 7th of April
1874 to satisfy sundry executions ob
tained against him. and that when the
money arising from the sale thereof
was to be distributed, the plaintiff
placed the execution in the hands of
the sheriff and claimed that it was en
titled to share in the distribution of the
money to the extent of SI,OOO with in
terest, and that it did receive its pro
rata share. What that share was, does
not affirmatively appear from the evi
dence, except by the receipt of the
plaintiff to the sheriff on th efifa, dated
80th of May, 1874, of the sum of $529.03,
an<l the admission made by the de
fendant in bis amended plea, that it was
the amount received by the plaintiff
from the sheriff on the distribution of
the money arising from the sale of
Harris’ land, which amount was allowed
by the jury in their verdict. The evi
dence in the record showing that it was
a purchase of the execution by the de
fendant. and a sale thereof by the
plaintiff for a stipulated amount as
ugreed on between the parties, and that
by the terms of agreement the plain
tiff should hold the execution until the
money agreed to be paid therefor was
paid, the plaintiff held the execution
as collatteral security for the payment
of the money, and it was the duty of
the plaintiff when Harris’ property was
sold to place the execution in the
sheriff’s hands, to claim its pro rata
share of the money to the extent of the
defendant’s interest in it. If the plain
tiff had neglected to have done so in
regard to the collateral in his hands as
a security for the money agreed to be
paid, and loss had resulted therefrom
to the defendant, the plaintiff would
have been liable for such loss. In view
of the evidence in the record, there
was no legal ground for the court to
have held that the correspondence be
tween the parties amounted to nothing
more than an offer to compromise a
disputed claim between the parties.—
After a careful review of the evidence
contained in the record, the verdict of
the jury, in our judgment, does sub
stantial justice between the parties,
and we will not, according to the re
peated rulings of this court, interfere
to control the discretion of the court
below in overruling the motion for a
new trial on the grounds of error al
leged therein. Let the judgment of
the court below be affirmed.
B. H. Bigham, for plaintiff in error.
Speer & Speer, for defendants.
Bird vs. The State. Murder, from
Monroe.
BLECKLEY, J.
1. Acts of preparation to meet and
resist an aggressor cannot be urged by
him as provocation. The drawing of a
weapon with intent to use it upon one
of two brothers present, will justify the
procurement of a stick with which to
resist the intended assault; and, hence,
possession of the stick will not be such
provocation as will reduce to man
slaughter a homicide committed by the
assailant.
2. Where there is not an assault or
an attempt to do a serious personal in
jury, but provocation by abusive words
only, the homicide is not manslaugh
ter.
3. A charge that recites, hypotheti
cally, a state of facts more favorable to
the prisoner than the evidence war
rants, and adds that if these facts be
found, the killing is not murder but
manslaughter, unless the evidence
shows it to be justifiable, is not error
of which the prisoner can complain.
4. In this case the offense proven
was clearly murder, and the verdict
was not contrary to law’ or to evidence.
Judgment affirmed.
Hammond & Berner, by W. T. Tup
per, for plaintiff in error.
T. B. Cabaniss, Solicitor General, by
Peeples & Howell, for the State.
Ames vs. Cameron, executor. Com
plaint, from Troup.
BLECKLEY, J.
1. The heirs or legatees of an estate
when all are of full age, may distribute
the same by consent when and how
they please, so that they do not leave
debts of the decedent unpaid, but they
have no right, as against creditors who
are not parties to the arrangement, to
depart from the due course of adminis
tration, whether at the time of so doing
they know of the existence of debts or
not.
2. Executors who qualified in 1859,
but returned no inventory or appraise
ment, and never submitted their
actings and doiugs to the super
vision of the Ordinary, by mak
ing returns or otherwise have not
legally administered, as against a
creditor of the testator; and they can
not, upon a plea of plene administravit,
defend themselves against the suit
of the creditor by showing that,
although the assets were sufficient
to pay the debt, they were dis
tributed among the residuary legatees
in a manner agreed upon by themselves
(the executors included), that the dis
tribution was not completed till after
the expiration of more than twelve
months from qualification and grant of
letters testamentary; that in the mean
time due notice to creditors was pub
lished for six weeks as the statute re
quires, and that no account of the
creditors’ demand was rendered in,
nor any notice given of the same, until
some years after the executors had
parted with the assets.
3. Where the conflict In evidence, if
any, was between parties to the suit on
the one side, and a disinterested wit
ness on the other, it was error to
charge the jury that those witnesses
were to have the preference whose
means of information were the best
and who had the best opportunity to
notice and remember the facts. It was
error, also, in such case, to charge that,
in the absence of any corroborating
circumstance, if all the witnesses were
surrounded by the same circumstance,
and were alike in everything but num
bers, the evidence of two would over
come the evidence of one, and the jury
were bound to believe the two in pref
erence to the one. Where witnesses
are parties to the suit, whatever may
be their numbers, the opportunities, or
means of information, the jury are to
judge of the degree in which their in
terest affects their credibility.
Judgment reversed.
JohnS. Bigby ; Speer & Speer, for
plaintiff in error.
B. H. Bigham ; Ferrell & Longley,
for defendant.
W. D. Barclay vs. the State. Misde
meanor, from Monroe.
JACKSON, J.
1. Where one is indicted for a misde
meanor under section 4600 of the Code,
the gist of the offense Thereunder be
ing the sale cr disposition of property
mortgaged so as to defeat the rights
of the mortgagee, and the property de
scribed in the mortgage is “one bay
mare mule
Held, that parol evidence is inadmis
sible to show that there was a mistake
in the description, and that the mort
gage was intended to cover a bay horse
mule, though the indictment alleged
the mistake.
Judgment reversed.
Hammond & Berner, by W. T. Trippe,
for plaintiff in error.

Peeples & Howell, for the State.

Gentlemen’ . I nr ve been running your system of Compound Opener Lapper . and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, or ra; re th "/ vears na tat th" /<_tu n Mill <>l e
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found It to work the mo 4 satisfactory of
a y opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen. we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picsei apron -dnee starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding ad cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department L saved over old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its aecur ty against tire. . , ,
Yours, Ac.. Al. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
