Brannon v. Wright
Tennessee Supreme Court
PROM FENTRESS. Appeal from the Chancery Court of Fentress County. —D. L. Lansden, Chancellor.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Wilkes
This bill is brought by the complainant against the defendants as sureties upon a bond executed by the guardian of complainant when he was a minor. The guardian has died, and his estate is alleged to be insolvent, and there is and has been no administration upon it. The suit was brought by the ward after he reached his majority, and against the sureties alone.
The chancellor gave judgment against the sureties for the balance due the complainant, fixing the priorities as between the several sets. The court of chancery appeals affirmed the chancellor, and the sureties have appealed to this court.
