| Short Summary: | Joining the defendants together both as individuals and as executors of the testator's estatate for improper slae of the testator's goods. Holding that it is a misjoinder to bring counts against the defendants in an individual capacity as well as counts within their character of executors. Under the law of 1825, the court could not reverse judgement for misjoinder unless brought up in trial, misjoinder was brought up but not for the proper grounds, so the court will not relieve the misjoinder. Distinguishing this case from Edelin v. State becasue that case uses a misjoinder for the hire of slaves was obvious enough that the misjoinder of the distributor and the administrator were misjoined. |
