Goodloe v. Clay 6 B.Mon. 236, Court of Appeals of Kentucky (October 20, 1845) 1845 The case stated. ALTHOUGH Clay, as the brother-in-law of Rodes, and having confidence in his willingness and ability to reim burse him, may have looked for that reimbursement from him when he made the payments, without even thinking of the liability of his co-surety to contribute, these circumstances do not discharge or repel that liability. And...   Cases

Graham v. Lambert 24 Tenn. 595, Supreme Court of Tennessee (April 01, 1845) 1845 This is a bill filed by the complainants, to review a decree rendered against them, and in favor of the defendants, at the August term, 1836, of the circuit court of Perry county. We are satisfied by an inspection of the testimony and record in that case that the decree ought not to be reviewed. The facts appear to be that, some time in the year...   Cases

Graves v. Reed 5 Ired. 357, Supreme Court of North Carolina (June 01, 1845) 1845 Where a sale of property under execution is made by a sheriff or constable, and the property brings more than the amount of the execution, it is the duty of such sheriff or constable to see that the excess is paid to the owner of the property. If he fail to do so, he is liable on his official bond. The case of The State v. Pool, 5 Ired. 109, cited...   Cases  
Green v. Collins 6 Ired. 139, Supreme Court of North Carolina (December 01, 1845) 1845 The Superior Courts, when an appeal is taken to the Supreme Court, should only state so much of the evidence as raised a question of law at the trial, and then the opinion prayed and given thereon, with simplicity and precision. A report of the whole trial below, is out of place in the case to be sent to the Supreme Court. Where a devise or bequest...   Cases

Hamilton v.

Any agreement or combination, therefore, the object and effect of which is to chill the sale and stifle competition is illegal, and no party to the agreement or combination can derive benefit from the sale.

Hamilton v. O'Neil 9 Mo. 11, Supreme Court of Missouri (January 01, 1845) 1845 It is obvious from the slightest examination of the law, that the Legislature has enumerated two classes of widows, for each of whom distinct specific provision is made, assigning to each, in the first instance, rights differing essentially in value and extent. The first comprehends widows upon whom, by the circumstance of the death of the husband,...   Cases

Pack 4 Smedes & M. 229, High Court of Errors and Appeals of Mississippi (January 01, 1845) 1845 If a deed of trust, void on its face, is offered in evidence in a court of law, it is competent for the court to declare it invalid.

W. and P., as his sureties in large...   Cases  
Harper v. Archer 4 Smedes & M. 99, High Court of Errors and Appeals of Mississippi (January 01, 1845) 1845 An appeal bond, on appeal from the decision of the probate court, payable to the parties, is erroneous; it must be payable to the judge of probate. An infant is in esse, from the time of conception, for the purpose of taking any estate which is for his benefit, whether by descent, devise, or under the statute of distributions, provided the infant...   Cases  
Harper v. Burrow 6 Ired. 30, Supreme Court of North Carolina (December 01, 1845) 1845 The Court concurs with the presiding Judge on both points. The deed of trust, so far as this case is concerned, is a conveyance of land, and, under the provisions of the Act of Assembly, Rev. Stat. ch. 37, s. 2, can be read in evidence on its registration, without producing the subscribing witnesses. Such has been the uniform construction given to...   Cases  
Harris v. Fisher 5 Smedes & M. 74, High Court of Errors and Appeals of Mississippi (January 01, 1845) 1845 The probate courts, in this state, have no power to entertain a bill of review; such bills are peculiarly matters of chancery jurisdiction. The probate court has no jurisdiction of a bill to correct the general course of administration, by having accounts and reports disallowed, which the court had formerly approved; objections should have been...   Cases

Havens v. Van Den Burgh 1 Denio 27, Supreme Court, New York (January 01, 1845) 1845 It was not offered to be proved that the testator ever saw or heard of the unexecuted paper. It was not in his handwriting, and it did not appear when it was prepared, or why, if prepared at his request, it was not executed. There is a failure in the offer to connect him with the paper, and we cannot indulge in conjecture concerning it. If,...   Cases

Hawkins v. Alston 4 Ired.Eq. 137, Supreme Court of North Carolina (December 01, 1845) 1845 When property is conveyed by a deed of trust to satisfy certain alleged debts, and the parties stand in a near relation to each other, as father and son, or brothers, and the deed is impeached for fraud, it is incumbent on the parties to offer something more than the naked bond of the one to the other, as evidence of the alleged indebtedness,...   Cases

Hempstead & Conway v. Watkins 6 Ark. 317, Supreme Court of Arkansas (July 01, 1845) 1845 It is a general rule that if a creditor does any act injurious to the surety, or omits to do any act when required by the surety, which his duty enjoins him to do, and the omission proves injurious to the surety, in all such cases the latter will be discharged, and may set up such conduct as a defense to any suit brought against him, if not in law,...   Cases

Hendricks v. Huddleston 5 Smedes & M. 422, High Court of Errors and Appeals of Mississippi (November 01, 1845) 1845 The judgments and orders of the probate court are final, and cannot be set aside or annulled by that court, at a term subsequent to that at which they were made.

Hendrix v. Trapp 2 Rich. 93, Court of Appeals of Law of South Carolina (December 01, 1845) 1845 In trespass to personal property, if the general issue alone is pleaded, and the trespass is proved or admitted, the plaintiff must have a verdict for some amount. A license from the plaintiff to do the act complained of, if not specially pleaded, cannot be used in justification, but only in mitigation of damages.   Cases  
Hill v. Com. 2 Gratt. 594, General Court of Virginia (December 01, 1845) 1845 (Absent Smith and Clopton, J.) 1. On a trial for murder, the dying declarations of the deceased, if made in expectation of death, are competent evidence against the prisoner. 2. The proof of the deceased's expectation of death is not confined to his declarations; but the fact may be satisfactorily established by the circumstances of the case. 3....   Cases

Holmes v.

Holmes was secured against all liability by reason of his indorsement, by a deed of trust on all the complainant's land in Lewis county. Afterwards, in March, 1840, Fresh being pressed...   Cases

Horton v. Horton 4 Ired.Eq. 54, Supreme Court of North Carolina (December 01, 1845) 1845 The defendant is liable for the sums charged by the Master. Admitting that a guardian of a ward residing here is not bound to secure the estate of the ward in another government, a point we do not decide, that would be no excuse for this defendant. For he had it in his power to have justice done to his ward, without going out of this State, namely,...   Cases

Howell v. Hook's Adm'r 4 Ired.Eq. 188, Supreme Court of North Carolina (December 01, 1845) 1845 The only question presented by this case, and which the Court is called on to decide, is, whether or not it was the duty of the executor, Benjamin Howell, to collect the money due on the bond of Edward Sasser, and divide it among his children. We think it was not; it results from the very nature of the legacy, that such was not his duty. It is a...   Cases
