Lord v. Sledge & Norfleet Co.
Lord v. Sledge & Norfleet Co.
Opinion of the Court
(After stating the foregoing facts.)
A motion to dismiss the writ of error was made on the ground that “H. K. Moffett, trustee,” and J. P. Norfleet had intervened in the rule, and that neither of them, “nor the counsel of either of said intervenors, have been served with a copy of the bill of exceptions; nor have either of them waived or acknowledged service.” The record, as it comes to 'us, does not show any intervention by “H. B. Moffett, trustee;” and while it does show that J. P. Norfleet intervened, it also shows that his intervention was withdrawn. Because of these facts neither of these parties is shown to be “interested in sustaining or reversing the court below,” and they are not necessary parties in this court;- and the motion to dismiss the bill of exceptions is overruled.
It appears from the record that Sledge & Norfleet Co. and J. H. Lord were creditors of A. W. Garrett, holding against him separate and distinct claims; that Sledge & Norfleet Co. and J. H. Lord each held a bill of sale against Garrett, each of. which .covered the same personal property, and that the bill of sale held by Lord was executed at a later date than the one held by Sledge & Norfleet Co., and expressly stated that it was “made subject to a bill of sale to the Middle Georgia Agricultural Corporation,” which bill of sale was transferred by the Middle Georgia Agricultural Corporation to
tJudgment affirmed.
