Tennessee Supreme Court January 25, 1871 (James A. Quinby & Co. v. North American Coal & Transportation Co.)

FréEMAN, J.,

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The only matter before us, in this case, arises on a bill filed by Quinby & Co., in the nature of a cross bill, to set up a title to the land in controversy, claiming to have purchased the same at tax sales, or to be the as-signee of others, who had purchased.
