Irvin v. Corbin
Irvin v. Corbin
Opinion of the Court
This was a bill in equity filed by Irvin against Corbin, to enjoin a judgment obtained by Corbin against one Jackson, who had been garnisheed to answer how much he owed one Mathews, and having failed to answer, judgment had gone against him as garnishee. The allegations are that Irvin was the innocent purchaser of the ,land of Jackson, which was levied upon by the judgment in favor of Corbin, without notice of the judgment; that the original judgment against Mathews was illegal for many reasons; that the judgment against Jackson, the garnishee, was also illegal for many reasons; and that Irvin having bought in good faith, had expended moneys in improvements upon the premises, in expenses for the last illness of Jackson, and counsel fees in and about the premises before he purchased them, which ought to be paid back to him; and that he had paid the widow of Jackson some $900 00 balance due on the land,
It is, perhaps, well to add for reference, that this case, or a branch thereof on a prayer for injunction, was before this court on a former occasion, reported in 39 Georgia Reports, 103; but nothing then decided affects the simple question now made.
Judgment affirmed.
