Mississippi Supreme Court January 15, 1848 (Matlock v. Livingston)

Mr. Chief Justice Sharkey

delivered the opinion of the court.

This action was founded on a promissory note made by John T. Dearing, who has since died, and the defendants in error. The note seems to have been given for a tract of land purchased by Dearing at a sale made by the plaintiff in error, as administrator of James Matlock, deceased.
