Buckner v. Bierne
Buckner v. Bierne
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The bill and its amendment, in the circuit court, in chancery, of Madison county, was filed to enjoin a judgment at law obtained by Bierne & House, for the use of Bierne, against Mills,
It is clear from the answer, that Bierne does not deny the material' allegation of the bill, that Buckner’s indorsement of the note of House was made, and that the note was discounted in bank for the use and benefit of the firm of Bierne & House. He alleges that no such discount was authorized or obtained with his knowledge or assent, and this is merely an allegation of a want of knowledge of any such discount. The denial that the note was made for the use or benefit of the firm is not absolute, but rests upon another allegation; that House had no authority to raise funds in that way. In order to warrant a dissolution of an injunction upon bill and answer, it is necessary that the answer should deny any material allegation with the same clearness and certainty as they are charged. 3 Bland’s Ch. 163.
The decree must be reversed and the cause remanded.
