Duncan v. Sangamo Fire Ins.
Duncan v. Sangamo Fire Ins.
Opinion of the Court
I. The court, in its order, requiring notice to be served upon the garnishee, as well as in the final order allowing execution, denominates the notice or process issued and served upon the garnishee a scvre facias. Appellant claims that the notice is not a scvre facias, and therefore the proceedings are erroneous, and the final order, awarding execution, cannot be sustained. We readily concur that the notice issued by the court is not a yrit of scvre facias, and that the court erred in giving it that name. But we are not prepared to concur that the improper use of the term scvre facias, in describing the notice ordered by the court, is such an error as will invalidate the proceeding. The substance of the notice issued, as well as of the order made by the court, is in accordance with the law, and it is not pretended by counsel that they are in the least degree objectionable, except as to the inaccurate use of the term scire facias.
II. The counsel of appellant filed, an affidavit, stating that he did not appear because of an agreement or understanding between himself and the counsel of the other party. But these statements are contradicted, directly and positively, by plaintiff’s attorney. We cannot, therefore, interfere with the judgment of the court below upon this conflicting evidence.
Affirmed.
