McLendon v. McLendon
McLendon v. McLendon
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiffs brought their action against the defendants on an administrator’s bond, to recover their distributive share of their deceased father’s estate, which the plaintiffs alleged the administrator had wasted, and refused to account to them therefor. The administrator and the other defendants pleaded plene admvnistn'avit. Upon the trial of that issue, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs for the sum of $115.90. The defendants made a motion for a new trial on several grounds, as is shown by the record to which the bill of exceptions refers, and at the November term of the court, 1876, as it appears in the record, an order was granted to show cause why said motion for a new trial should not be granted as prayed for. The bill of exceptions states, that “ After argument had, the court overruled said motion for a new trial, provided the plaintiff would write off one-sixth of said verdict, to which defendants excepted.” There is no judgment of the court in the record overruling the motion for a new trial upon the terms as stated in the bill of exceptions,
Judgment affirmed.
