1 Wright 412

Love's Administrator v. Freer

Ohio Supreme Court

Decided August 15, 1833

Ohio Supreme Court · decided 1833-08-15

Chancery. The complainant alleges that in February, 1828, he recovered a judgment against Freer, who is insolvent, and that the 413] ^judgment yet remains unpaid.

Decided 1833-08-15

BY THE COURT.

¶1The complainant appears before us with little claim to equity. In both the suits he has had offered to him, and refused to accept, what he now asks, because he, as administrator, was both to collect and pay, and he therefore would not set •off one debt against another. He now refuses to open the transactions adjusted by the judgments after his refusal, and to settle on fair principles of justice. What equity can such a man have which we ought to protect? Refusing to do justice himself, he asks of a court of equity to enable him to avail himself of the fruits of his technical advantage in the judgment!

¶2The bill is dismissed with costs.
