Brantley v. Cheeley

Opinion of the Court

Warner, J.

From the statement of facts disclosed by the record in this case, the Court below erred in deciding that the balance of the debt due on the judgment establishing the vendor’s lien on the land against Dickson, as the purchaser thereof, at the executor’s sale, was a debt due by Dickson, as the executor of John Cheeley, and as such, entitled to priority of payment out of the assets of Dickson’s estate.

Let the judgment of the Court below be reversed.
