Graff v. Lane
Graff v. Lane
Opinion of the Court
Plaintiff seeks to enjoin the collection of a judgment obtained against him upon a trial, alleged to have taken place in violation of an agreement on the part of the plaintiff in the action, wherein the judgment was rendered, and the justice who tried the case to postpone the same on account of the sickness of the present plaintiff, and to give notice of the time when it should be reset for trial, whereby it is alleged this plaintiff was prevented from making a defense to said case. The answer was a general denial.
0'n the hearing there was evidence tending to prove the allegations in plaintiff’s petition, and also evidence adduced by defendant tending to disprove the allegations of said petition. The trial judge found the facts in favor of defendants, and dissolved the temporary injunction theretofore awarded, and assessed damages on the bond and dismissed the petition, from which rulings plaintiff has appealed.
We are satisfied from this testimony, and all the facts and circumstances set out in the record, that the finding of the chancellor was in accordance with the weight of the evidence. As that finding was against the plaintiff on the only theory upon which he could claim relief under the petition in this cause, it will be affirmed.
