Bagby v. Reeves
Supreme Court of Alabama · Decided January 15, 1852 · Ligon
20 Ala. 427

Bagby v. Reeves

Opinion of the Court

LIGON, J.

There can be no doubt that tbe money arising from tbe sale of tbe lands levied on by tbe sheriff, was rightly appropriated by the judgment and direction of tbe court below. Tbe judgment of tbe Branch Bank was nearly two years prior in point of time to that in favor of tbe plaintiff in error. It created the first lien, and was consequently entitled to priority of satisfaction. Campbell v. Spence, 4 Ala. 543; Quinn v. Wiswall, 7 ib. 645.

Let tbe judgment be affirmed.
