House v. Cocke

1 Tenn. 296

Opinion

The plaintiff and defendant were securities for James Berry, who became insolvent, and the plaintiff had to pay the money upon execution. He filed his bill for contribution, and the question was, whether the acts of 1801, c. 15 and 18, took from the court of equity its former jurisdiction in this respect. The court were of opinion that they did not, and therefore decreed for the plaintiff.
