Supreme Court of Georgia July 15, 1850, No. 96 (Coleman v. Neal)

By the Court

Lumpkin J.

delivering the opinion,

[1.] The objection set up by Coleman, the County Treasurer of Randolph, to the payment of the orders held by Neal, is, that the consideration for which they were given, to wit: the building of a court-house for said county, has entirely failed — the courthouse having fallen down, and become altogether useless.
