Opinion by
Judge Lindsay:The payment of the Quarterly Court judgment can not be regarded as voluntary on the part of appellee. There was a judgment against him, upon which both the Quarterly and Circuit Courts had held an execution might lawfully issue.
He was not bound, and possibly may not have been able to supersede the judgment of the Circuit Court dissolving his injunction and dismissing his petition. It was not necessary that he should, for the reason that an execution had already been issued and his property actually seized. It being apparent that appellant intended to resort to all his legal remedies to enforce the collection of the Quarterly Court judgment. Appellee’s payment was made under constraint and by reason of appellant’s legal advantage at the time, and as the court in effect compelled him! to pay a debt he did not owe, they can not and ought not, now that they have corrected their error, refuse to assist him in recovering back the money that was improperly extorted from him by reason of such error. If such a rule was established, the right to appeal to this court would be utterly worth*704less to those who could not supersede the judgments of inferior tribunals.
Sizemore, for appellant. Vance, for appellee.The settlement between appellee and his brother does not affect his claim against appellants.
Judgment affirmed.
