Mills v. Federal Land Bank of Columbia
Mills v. Federal Land Bank of Columbia
Opinion of the Court
This is an appeal arising from a proceeding brought by the Federal Land Bank of Columbia to confirm its sale under foreclosure of about 149 acres of land securing a promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000. Public sale after proper notice resulted in purchase by the Federal Land Bank of Columbia, plaintiff below, for $87,700. The appellant, defendant below, attacks the trial judge’s determination that the foreclosure sale brought the "true market value,” and the failure of the trial judge to use a "beyond a reasonable doubt” standard in this determination. Held:
1. The trial judge was the trier of fact in this
2. The appellant enumerates as error the trial court’s failure to receive certain evidence regarding tax assessments for the purpose for which it was intended, i.e., impeachment of one of the appellee’s expert witnesses. The court stated in its order that the evidence was received and considered. The appellant’s argument is not directed to any error of law appearing on the face of the record and is meritless.
Judgment affirmed.
