Shelby v. Yancy , 1 Tenn. 235 ( 1807 )

In this case there was a demurrer overruled, and a writ of inquiry, and now WHITE, for the defendant, insisted that the covenant should be produced. This is similar to a writ of inquiry, where proof must be made. There is no necessity to produce the covenant nor to make proof of it, for it is admitted by the demurrer.
