Supreme Court of Georgia February 15, 1850, No. 26 (Davis v. Irwin)

By the Court,

Warner, J.

delivering the opinion,

*155[1.] It appears, from the record, that the plaintiff in error sold certain negroes, as Sheriff of Bibb County, belonging to the defendant, by virtue of certain Ji. fas. placed in his hands against her. After paying off the fi. fas. and costs, there remained a balance in the hands of the Sheriff, arising from the sale of the defendant’s property.
