Tate  v.  Carney

THIS case was brought up from the Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana holding sessions for the eastern district of Louisiana, being issued under the twenty-fifth section of the Judiciary act.

The head note has given an outline of the case so that the reader can understand it; and the opinion of the court contains a full statement.

Tate was sued in the court below, and disclaimed title otherwise than as one of the heirs of Nancy Tate, whose other heirs then intervened.

Carney and the others claimed under Yair's title.

The Supreme Court of Louisiana rejected the claim of the heirs of Nancy Tate, who brought the case up to this court.

It was submitted on a printed argument by Mr. Benjamin for the plaintiffs in error, and argued by Mr. Taylor for the defendants.

Mr. Justice CAMPBELL delivered the opinion of the court.
