Peoples' Bank of Madison v. Deweese
Court of Appeals of Kentucky · Decided July 1, 1911
144 Ky. 172

Peoples' Bank of Madison v. Deweese

Opinion of the Court

In response to the Petition for Rehearing we hold:

First: That the levy of the execution did not create a lien as the legal title to the land levied on was not in the execution defendant. The remedy of the judgment creditor was to have an execution returned “No property found”, and proceed under section 439 of the Civil Code.
Second: That the effect of the judgment appealed from was to dismiss the action.

Petition for rehearing overruled.
