Lucas v. Calvert's Assignees
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
We perceive no error in permitting the judgment to be enforced in the name of the real parties in interest, or in authorizing the assignee to dispose of the property under the order of the court, and besides the answer and cross-petition of the appellant shows that these assignees are entitled to coerce payment for .the benefit of creditors, and under this proceeding the rights of the appellant have been heard and determined. The fact that the appellant overlooked for so long a time this large sum of money for the sale of land that he is now asserting as a set-off, is of itself a strong circumstance against
As to the note for $750, if this note were executed for the interest on the principal sum in controversy the credit of the two thousand dollars was proper. The appellant swears that such was the case, and as there is no other consideration appearing, the testimony of the appellant standing uncontradicted, we cannot adjudge that the chancellor erred in allowing as a credit the whole of the payment by Vanmeter. These are the only questions necessary to be noticed, and as there is no error to the prejudice of either party in the record the judgment is affirmed on both the original and cross-appeal.
