Mississippi Supreme Court, 1894

Fenner v. Boutte

Fenner v. Boutte
Mississippi Supreme Court · Decided October 15, 1894 · Cooper
72 Miss. 271

Fenner v. Boutte

Opinion of the Court

Cooper, C. J.,

delivered the opinion, of the court.

The motion to quash the levy of the writ of attachment should have been overruled. By executing the forthcoming bond the defendant admitted the validity of the levy, and is now estopped to deny it. Walker v. Shotwell, 13 Smed. & M., 544; Jayne v. Dillon, 28 Miss., 283.

If the defendant had not admitted the levy, it may be that the plaintiff in attachment, discovering that the property had been seized by the constable, would have placed his writ in the hands of that officer and thus have secured a levy.

Judgment reversed.
