Indiana Supreme Court, 1849

Moore v. Ireland

Moore v. Ireland
Indiana Supreme Court · Decided July 1, 1849
1 Ind. 531
Moore v. Ireland

Opinion of the Court

IN this case the scire facias and judgment are in the name of Ireland, the assignee of the original judgment-plaintiff. This is erroneous. Neither the common law nor the statute authorizes assignments of judgments so as to enable the assignee to proceed at law for their collection in his own name.

The judgment is reversed, &c.
