58 Ga. 11 | Ga. | 1877
The complainant filed his bill on the equity side of the court, in the county of Bibb, against Ripley & Tinsley, of said county, merchants and brokers, and J. W. Lathrop & Co., commission merchants and factors of the county of Chatham, and William L. Lampkin & Co., bankers of the county of Monroe, and B. Pye ,& Son., bankers of the last named county, in which he alleged that Ripley & Tinsley, as the brokers and agents of J. W. Lathrop & Co., had, on the 15th of March, 1875, purchased of the complainant a quantity of bacon and paid therefor in a note made by William L. Lampkin & Co., and Pye & Son, for $2,500, dated 12th of March, 1875, due sixty days after date, payable to the order of W. L. Lampkin & Co., and indorsed by them — with a prayer that Ripley & Tinsley, J. W. Lathrop & Co., and W. L. Lamp-kin & Co. (the said B. Pye & Son., having been adjudged bankrupts), they and each of them might be decreed to account with complainant for the sum of $2,500, the cash value of said bacon, with interest thereon, which had been wrongfully and fraudulently obtained from complainant as set forth in his bill, and that the said J. W. Lathrop & Co., be compelled to take back said note, and that all be compelled to account jointly and severally for said bacon. The complainant waived all discovery from the defendants. The defendants demurred to the complainant’s bill on the ground that he had a full and adequate remedy at law, and because no substantial relief is prayed against any of the defendants residing in the county of Bibb, and no grounds for relief alleged against them, which would give the court jurisdiction to grant the relief prayed for against J. W. Lathrop & Co., of Chatham county. The court sustained the demurrer and dismissed the complainant’s bill: whereupon the complainant excepted.
Does the record in this case exhibit such a state óf facts as to show affirmatively that the court below erred in sustaining the demurrer, and dismissing the complainant’s bill ?
Judgment affirmed.
