Davis v. Walker ( 1818 )

The bill states that Pruitt, the half-brother of the deceased, during the infancy of the defendant, offered warrants to Davis to be located, and agreed to give him one-half. That he, Davis, passed the warrant through the commissioner's office, and located and entered the land, and obtained grants and caused them to be registered. The contract was not admitted in the answer. It was proved that Pruitt did make the contract, and promised to give one-half.
