Sessions v. Peay
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Appeal from Pulaski Gha/neery Oourt. Hon. Hulbebt F. Faibchild, Chancellor. The error to which we ask attention, and confidently rely on to reverse the decree,- is, that the sale was directed to be made, not at the court-house door of the county of Chicot, where, the land is situate, but at the court-house door of Pulaski county. This was wholly unwarranted by law. See see. 56, chap. 68, Gould's Dig., page 509, title Execution ; sec. 15, ■ chap. 117, p. 801, title Mortgages.
