Baker v. Hampton
Baker v. Hampton
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Taking the allegations of the petition and amended petition to be ■true, appellees had obtained a judgment against A. J. Baker, and pending a motion for a new trial they caused an execution to issue and be levied upon a horse belonging to A. J. Baker, which was sold by the officer to J. W. Baker, who executed a sale bond. Subsequently the motion for a new trial was sustained, and the judgment in favor of appellees set aside. After this motion was sustained appellees caused an execution to issue' on the sale bbnd, and had it levied upon a lot of logs belonging to J. W. Baker. In the meantime J .W. Baker, believing that the setting aside of the judgment operated to cancel his bond and to deprive him of any right to the horse, returned him to A. J. Baker.
The court below sustained a demurrer to the petition and amended
Judgment reversed and cause remanded with directions to grant the injunction, and unless the facts set forth in the petition and amended petition are successfully controverted the injunction should be made perpetual.
