M'Daniel v. Waggoner

1 Tenn. 252

Opinion

Per Curiam.

The judgment of the county court must be reversed : reason and authority are decisive of the point, though the plaintiff below could recover but one satisfaction for a joint trespass, yet he had the responsibility of both trespassers to secure this satisfaction ; the court had no power to deprive him of it. The rule in Heydon’s case, 11 Co. 6 7, seems to furnish a rule in this case, See 2 Wil. Ed. Bac. Ab. 272-3, in. n.

Let a procedendo issue to the court below.
