Henry Cook v. Joshua Hadly
Tennessee Supreme Court
Henry Cook v. Joshua Hadly, 3 Tenn. 465 (Tenn. 1813)
By the Court.
Henry Cook v. Joshua Hadly
Opinion of the Court
It is obvious to us that a single contract cannot, in the form this case presents itself, give rise to more than one suit in equity. It was not in the power of the obligees before a deed was made, on any event to split their interests in such a manner as to authorize several suits against the defendant.
Note. The complainant moved to amend his bill, so as to make all the *353 obligees defendants, alleging that they would not join with him as complainants. This was permitted upon the payment of costs.
