Tennessee Supreme Court November 15, 1817 (Flora v. Rogers)

The court, on hearing this bill and answer, and the evidence, made an interlocutory decree, and ordered the bill to stand over till other parties could be added, and gave leave to the plaintiff to amend his bill by annexing an affidavit of the loss of a deed which in the original bill is stated to be in the hands of the defendant. The affidavit was so drawn as to confirm the facts stated.
