Description
Absent LIVINGSTON, TODD, and STORY, J. ERROR to the Circuit Court for the district of East Tennessee, in a suit in equity, in which Joseph Williams on the 15th of November, 1799, brought his hill of complaint against Elisha Wallen and John Williams, whereby he stated that the Defendants and others in the year 1779 entered into a co-partnership in the entering of lands in the land office for the sale of lands in that part of the state of North Carolina which now lies within the district of East Tennessee; and that each party was, on demand, to pay his proportion of the money due to the state upon the entries, to the party who should advance it: and that if any party so failed to pay his proportion, he should forfeit his share of the lands entered, and should cease to be a partner. That Joseph Williams, the Complainant, paid the whole of the money due to the state for the lands entered, and that John Williams, one of the Defendants, not having paid any thing, sold his share of the lands to the other Defendant, Wallen, who had notice that nothing had been paid by John Williams. Wallen obtained patents, upon this assignment of John Williams, for two tracts of 640 acres each, and one for 440. The latter tract of 440 acres he sold to a purchaser without notice; but he still held the other two tracts. That the Complainant had demanded from Wallen payment of John Williams's proportion of the money due to the state, which Wallen refused to pay. The Defendant in his answer relied in part on the statute of limitations.
