J. Goldsmith & Brother v. Alexander
J. Goldsmith & Brother v. Alexander
Opinion of the Court
I. Plaintiffs, who held a judgment against Philip Alexander -and his wife, defendants -in this action, filed a bill in •equity asking that certain real estate which they averred was owned
II. The facts, as we find them in this case, are that in 1890 plaintiffs recovered a judgment against defendants; that, after the debt was contracted for which judgment was rendered, said defendants contracted in writing for the purchase of certain lots in the city of Osceola, Iowa, for the price of six -hundred and fifty dollars, and in the name of the defendant Eleanor Alexander; that said defendants entered into the possession of said property, and occupied it as their homestead; that they kept their contract off of the record; that Philip Alexander has paid upon said property about the sum of three hundred and fifty dollars; in 1891 defendants contracted to sell said real estate for one thousand dollars, and the purchaser paid part of said purchase price; that intervener, Carter, has no interest in the property whatever, and the same is the property of the Alexanders, the defendants; that plaintiffs’ judgment was properly decreed to he a lien upon said lots. We need not and cannot consider in detail the evidence. It establishes the above and other facts, and in all respects fully justified the decree entered in the lower court.— Affirmed.
