Tennessee Supreme Court April 15, 1841 (Alton v. Robinson)

Reese, J.

delivered the opinion of the court.

The only question in this case is, whether if the maker of a note, at the time of its maturity be the executor of the endorser, the holder is bound, in order to make the estate of the testator liable, to demand payment of the maker, and upon his default, to give him notice as executor, that he will look to the estate of the testator for payment.
