BRIDGES v. MAY.
    (S. C., Thomp. Cas., 96-97.)
    Knoxville,
    September Term, 1853.
    REVERSAL. The supreme court will reverse, only when the circuit judge is in the wrong.
    Petition to rehear.
   By the court:

The circuit judge must be put in the wrong, or a reversal will not be had.

Rehearing refused.

McKinney, J.,

dissenting:

Where the circuit judge undertakes to lay down the law and does it imperfectly, it is error. Otherwise, where the matter decided is merely illustrative. The true rule in this case is that the debits are to be taken, except so far as disproved.
