Couger v. Lancaster
Tennessee Supreme Court
Couger v. Lancaster, 14 Tenn. 477 (Tenn. 1834)
Catron
Couger v. Lancaster
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The only question is, had the justice who tried the cause jurisdiction? We think the deed contained a covenant to pay Thomas Lancaster the money, as well as a lien on Couger’s property, and no reason exists why the creditor could not sue in debt upon it, the same as if he had taken a separate bond for the money. Took vs. Hartly, 2 Bro. C. R. 126.
Judgment affirmed.
