Jones Valley Finance Co., Inc. v. Tennille

Supreme Court of Alabama
Nov 5, 1959
115 So. 2d 504 (Ala. 1959)

Opinion

6 Div. 442.

November 5, 1959.

Petition of Melvin Tennille and Dorothy S. Brown for certiorari to the Court of Appeals to review and revise the judgment and decision of that Court in Jones Valley Finance Co. v. Tennille, 115 So.2d 495.

Writ denied.

Davies, Williams Wallace, Birmingham, for petitioners.

Arthur D. Shores, Birmingham, opposed.


As we understand the opinion of the Court of Appeals, it is based on a finding by that court that the certificates evidence the owners of preferred stock as distinguished from a certificate of indebtedness, and that they do not include a promise to pay interest. This finding is based on the evidence, and the Court of Appeals held that the stock certificates were not the sole memoranda of the agreement between the parties.

So considered, we think the writ should be denied. It is so ordered.

Writ denied.

LAWSON, STAKELY and MERRILL, JJ., concur.
