Wash v. Hendrick
Wash v. Hendrick
Opinion of the Court
OuiNioN or the Court by
Affirming.
This action was instituted by appellee against the administrator of M. H. Jagoe and E. E. Wash upon an indemnifying bond. A trial was had in the lower court in which appellee recovered a judgment for $370.00, hut upon motion of both parties the court set the verdict aside and granted a new trial. On the nest trial ap-pellee recovered a judgment for $374.00; and both parties again moved the court to set the verdict aside and grant a new trial, but the court refused to do so. Defendant appeals, but appellee does not prosecute a cross-appeal, or even file a brief. The facts are about these: Jagoe’s administrator recovered two small judgments in the quarterly court against appellee; together, they amounted to about $400.00, and he had executions issued on these judgments which were returned “no property found.” Appellee was a tenant upon a farm near Cerulean Springs, Trigg County. He and his son raised a crop of tobacco in 1909; the tobacco was sold and the proceeds, something over $400.00, were deposited in a bank in Cerulean Springs. It is admitted that $100.00 of this money belonged to the son. Appellee owed debts to two banks in Cadiz, Ky., and he went there on November 9th, 1909, and drew checks in their favor upon the Bank of Cerulean Springs which about consumed the money deposited there to his credit. The main issue tried in the lower court was whether he drew these checks against the Cerulean Springs’ bank before or after he learned of the re-issual of the executions in favor of Ja-goe’s administrator upon these judgments in the quarter
Therefore, the judgment is affirmed.
