Gray v. Montgomery
Gray v. Montgomery
Opinion of the Court
—Plaintiffs, as assignees of one Taylor, were the owners of a mortgage, upon certain timber land, made by defendants. The object of this proceeding is to restrain the removal of certain cord wood and the cutting of other timber on said land, the cord wood being claimed by the wife nnder a bill of sale, subsequent to the plaintiffs’ moi’tgage, to secure a debt contracted before that time. On the bearing the injunction was dissolved as to the wife (Catherine Montgomery), and plaintiffs appeal.
As to the time of taking up said motion, we only remark, that there is nothing to show that the court below abused its discretion in the premises. "We cannot say from the showing made, that the papers were lost or mislaid, or that any other sufficient excuse was shown by appellants for not proceeding with the hearing at the time ordered by the court. After answering, appellees could move to dissolve, and were entitled to be heard thereon at any time, unless good ground for postponement .thereof was shown by the opposite party.
Affirmed.
