Moore v. Kellogg
Moore v. Kellogg
Opinion of the Court
The default of the defendants, Joseph Woodworth and Esther Woodworth, was regularly entered; the Court in the orders of default having found that the summons had been regularly served upon each of them. The default and judgment thereon were entered as to'Joseph Woodworth May 12th, 1879, and as to Esther Woodworth May 26th, "1879. Both of said parties move to set aside the judgments and defaults.
It does not appear from the transcript, as first filed, that the affidavits were used on the motion. Subsequently, and without leave, a document, called an “amended transcript,” was filed. Assuming that it is properly here, it does not aid the appellants. 1. It appears therefrom that after the commencement of the suit, and before the default, said defendants conveyed their interests in the premises in controversy to another, and their grantee does not join in the motion, nor ask to have the action continue in the names of the defendants; they, the defendants, had no further interest. 2. We
Order affirmed.
