Decisions of the Supreme Court of the
state of Tennessee at Nashville, De-
cember Term, 1850.
Benjamin Gst, vs.. Jerry Webb.
There was an action of debt commenced before
Justice of the Peace upon a note for 500. The
defense was that the horse for which the note was
given was unsourd and OF no value, and that known
to the vendor and fraudulently concealed, and Upon
this ground the payment of the note was resisted.
The Justice found against the defence and gave
Judgment for the whole amount. The defendant
appealed to the Circuit Court, when the jury gave
verdict in favor of the plaintiff for only SS7 so, al
lowing as they say IN their verdict, damages of
S54 IS by way of "receupment." WkereuBOn the
Court gave iudgmentin favor of the plaintiff for the
SS7 So and the small amount of costs accrued in
establishing his claim, and against him for the re-
nainder of the costs of the case amounting to up
wards of $500. The plaintiff appealed.
Whether this judgment in relation to the costs
was right is the only question to be considered as
the merits of the upon the facts settled by
the verdict.
The large bill of costs accrued, of course in the
investigation of the defence set up of fraud and
want of consideration. The whole note was re-
sisted upon these grounds, but the defence only
proved successful to the extent of S54
The code, Sec 3, 1877, provides THAT "the success
full party, all civil action entitled to full costs
unless otherwise directed by law" These direc-
tions to the contrary exceptions are set out in
the next section which embraces those cases where
damages do not exceed FIVE dollars-aetion for
SANDER, &c. l
To sustain this Judgment of the Court we are
referred to two cases of our own. The first IS IN
Swan 202, where it is held that when a Plaintln
declares in separate counts upon several causes o.
action, and only succeeds part. he must pay tne
costs of those which he fails, and defendant ON lh
others. The other is that of BOothe VS. Oo"An
Sneed 1884, in which it was held that where set.1n
was relied upon in defence, and that as wen a. Le
claim Of the plaintiff, was established, escn Party
entitled to Judgment for the costs IN ~
set-of was larger than the demand established for

Arren DishnOn vs.. Charles =. Jones and ais.


This bill was filed to enforce the vendors lien by
assignee before DUE Of the notes for the eonsid-
Grafton of land
The facts are. that defendant Hildreth, in 1852,
purchased the land of Pursley, and took his land
for title In the same year, 3lst December he sold
to defendant Estridge, who executed his two notes
of that date fer the consideration one for S72 So
due 25th December 1853 and the other for the same
amount, due 18th December. 1854. These notes
were assigned to one Collier, 9TH February, 1858,
and by him TO the complainant Dishmon, March 18th
of the same year. The consideration is specified on
their face.
The object of the bill is to make the land liable
for these notes.
1T is insisted by defendant, Jones, the present
owner of the land, upon the ground that Pursley
made deed directly to Estridge, dated January,
1858, registered October, 1854 and that he purchas
ed the same of Estridge and obtained his deed in
October 1855. upon these facts he insists that the
lien was last, and cannot follow the land into his
hands.
Estridge at the tine he sold to Jones, informed
him that he had not paid to his vendor. Hldreth,
these notes. We have very little doubt from the
pleadings. that he agreed to pay them as part of
the consideration. He admits his answer that he
said to Hildreth that he would do as he pleased
about that. But comedies in his answer that he only
paid in yoke of oxen and store account, the val
ne of 500 90, or perhaps less" That with the
amount of these notes, would make about what
Pursley proves the land was then worth. This IS q
strong circumstance TO show that the payment OF
these notes was part of the consideration.
But independent of that, upon well established
equitable principles the decree in favor of COM
painant can be maintained The sale to Estridge
when he gave these notes to his vendee was with>
out deed and whatever title be bought was encum-
bered with lien which passed to the assignee of
the notes. Could this lien be defeated by deed
from the original vender under his bond for title
to Hidreth directly to Estridge, and by him 70
Jones? Most clearly not If the lien passed with
the notes to the compt endorse, it could not be
avoided by the acts of others. Even if deeds had
been made to Hildreth, and by him to Estridge up
on the execution of these notes, and the land was
bought by Jones, with full knowledge that they re-
mairel unpaid the land would be made liable if
the notes had continued in the bands of the VENDOR
but such lien would not ensure to the benefit of the
endorsee, because the equal title had been parted
with But here the equal title still in the hands
of the original vendor and of course did not pass to
Estridge at the time of his purchase and the exeeu
ton of these notes.
So in every view the land was properly made
liable for the satisfaction of the judgments on the
notes. and the decree will be affirmed in the cases.

FIRE ARMs-Amid the multiplicity of offers of
service so literally made on all sides to the Govern
ment the department of mechanical skill has thus
lar had no representation. There is surely no such
want of ingenuity and Tesoroe in reference to this
branch of industry as this silence would seem to
signify.
viii not some man of enterprise and capital step
forward, -and undertake the establishment of man
ufactorv of small arms with such means as we have
at command. Much of the work of stocking and
details of the lock- &C.. must be done by hand but
we hope to see a beginning made al once in the man
ufacture of arms It will not do to wait now for
splendid automatic machinery. What cannot be
commanded by machinery must be supplied by hand
work at enhanced cost certainly; but we must look
at results now.

Sweet Potatoes,

As it is timely to think now OF the eul-
liyation Of the Sweet Potato crop, We eX-
tract from the FieM d: Freside few
hints By one Of its correspondents:
Wishing to encourage the culture
ot that valuable crop. aud having formany
years been very successful MYSELF | will
give some o, my practice. Early in
March select i piece of soft or sahdy
land, OH clay basis Il foot or so below
ii.n surface, Ncii exposed t" The sun. and
or,ak it up co,c and deep. Two or three
weeks after. it i; laid of with Il scooter
or narrow shovel p!ow in rows threc-and-
Il !Iat' feet wide. Cotton seed that is
killed, is then strcwed along somewhat
thicker than used when manurng for cot
ton. a turn plow turrow is then run
each side, covering the seed up. When
,ilc plants in the bed are read y, and
the first good rain comes the middcs are
p:owcd out deep with turn p!ow, form.
'ng tile ridge to plant on. usually chop
The ridges in two with a hoe, forming hills:
which Is easily done, for ! believe the po.
'ato will yield more to the acre in hills.
With common seasons, and little pains
taken in cultivation, there need be no
scarcity Of potatoes. As dry as last
summer was not only made enough TO
at,cr my hogs. but have had as much as
INV white and black family co...,e consume
since first of September, and will Lave
plenty ill first April. The darkies are
proud indeed when potaioc time comes
~, for then say they we will not have
ila;f the corn to shell, and den 60 TO mill
once in tree weeks will Go.'
