Eaves v. Garner
Eaves v. Garner
Opinion of the Court
C. C. Eaves brought his action against J. F. Garner, J. G. Weaver, and B. F. Morgan, for damages which he alleged he had sustained by reason of the defendants having entered upon his land and cut and carried away certain timber. Upon the trial, to prove his title to the land, plaintiff offered in evidence a sheriff’s deed thereto, made in pursuance of a sale under an execution issued from a justice’s court. He also offered in evidence a copy of such execution, with the entries thereon, tho original having been lost. The following entry appeared on the copy fi. fa.: “I know of no personal property in the possession of the defendant, on which to levy this fi. fa. This 14th day of February, 1848. James S. Trible, Cons.” The court excluded the copy fi. fa., and the plaintiff excepted.
Section 4167 of the Civil Code, which is a codification of the act of 1811, provides that “No constable shall levy on any land unless there is no personal property to be found sufficient to satisfy the debt, which fact must appear by an entry on the execution, to be levied by a constable of the county where such
Judgment affirmed.
