| Haynie, as the assignee of a promissory note, sued Aird, the assignor, in the Alexander County Circuit Court. Aird argued lack of jurisdiction as the cause of action arose in Marion County. The court found for Haynie, awarding $353.60. Aird appealed, citing the 1861 law barring suits outside a defendant's county of residence. Despite a defective plea, the court erred in not finding for Aird due to jurisdictional issues. The judgment was reversed and remanded. |
