Samuel Freeman Miller,
East Tennessee Company v. Southern Telephone Company…
“ It was suggested by a letter from counsel employed on one side of this suit that his party had sod out the interest which it had to the other party, who was prosecuting it now, and was dominus litis on both sides. A ruling was made some time ago, before the death of the late chief justice, in effect that there was sufficient evidence to that effect to require the case to be dismissed, unless the side now presecuting it for decision would show satisfactory evidence that it was a bona fide suit. ”
