Tennessee Supreme Court · Decided October 15, 1807
1 Tenn. 251

M'Crea v. Galey

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The method pointed out by the set is summary ; in derogation of the principles of *252the common law, as notice is not required by it, to the adverse party, it cannot be extended. The constable in collecting acted only as agent and under this act was not liable,otherwise than when collecting under executions. Though there were $2 collected under the execution, the judgment below must be reversed in toto.
