Humphries v. Anthony

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Humphries v. Anthony, 7 Ark. 136 (Ark. 1851)
Walicer

Humphries v. Anthony

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Walicer

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The replications in this case were clearly defective. The plea set forth a subsisting, undisposed-of levy on lands. A replication that the land levied upon is not the property of the defendant, is not of sufficient value to satisfy the debt, or has been discharged by a sale of the property since the commencement of the action, is not good. The replication should traverse the fact as to whether there was or was not a subsisting levy at the time of the commencement of the action. The principles upon which this case turns, will be found fully settled in the case of Anderson vs. Fowler, 3 Eng. Anthony vs. Humphries, use, &c., 4 Eng. 176. Whiting & Slark vs. Beebe et al., at the present term.

Let the judgment of the Circuit Court be, in all things, affirmed, with costs.
