Pomeroy v. Schwendener
Pomeroy v. Schwendener
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The plaintiff in error, Pomeroy, commenced this action in the district court of Graham county to enjoin the removal of a frame stable from certain lots in Hill City which he had purchased at a sheriff’s sale made pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure of a mortgage held thereon by him. The premises were bid in by him for $75. A temporary injunction was granted by the probate judge, which, on motion of the defendants, was dissolved by the district court. To reverse this order these proceedings in error were instituted. The subject of controversy is a certain frame stable situated on the mortgaged lots. The evidence does not show its value, but the petition for the injunction alleges that the plaintiff purchased the lots and building at the sher
If we look to the merits of the case, we find little conflict in the evidence as to the ownership of the stable in controversy. The preponderance of the evidence goes to show that the stable was not on the land at the time the mortgage was executed; that it never belonged to the owner of the lots,-but was moved thereon with his consent by other'persons. The building was not placed upon a permanent foundation and could be easily removed without injury to it or the lots. We think the decision of the court is amply supported in the evidence.
For the reasons first given the case will be dismissed.
