Tennessee Supreme Court, 1814

Pea v. Waggoner

Pea v. Waggoner
Tennessee Supreme Court · Decided January 15, 1814
6 Tenn. 242

Pea v. Waggoner

Opinion of the Court

* Per Curiam.

Had not the complainant paid these surplus debts, the defendants would now be liable for them; and there is no injustice in saying he shall stand in the place of the creditors, and resort to that property for satisfaction which they would have resorted to; and, being debts justly due from the intestate, his lands were liable to the satisfaction of them. He need not have stated the debts more particularly, for, should the answer deny *711them, he will be called upon to state and prove them severally to the satisfaction of the court.

Demurrer overruled, and the defendants ordered to answer.

See Pea v. Waggoner, 5 Hay. 1, and note sub fin.
