Arndt v. Remington
Arndt v. Remington
Opinion of the Court
This is an appeal from a. judgment against defendants for $158.07, with interest and costs amounting to $225.07. There are no facts in dispute. The plaintiff owned a quarter section of land •on which she resided as a homestead, and she had acquired the same under the homestead laws of the United States. Prior to the issuing •of a patent for the land, J. M. Hanley obtained and docketed in Morton county a judgment for $135, and interest, amounting to $158.07, against the plaintiff and Clara Arndt. Then, to secure for her a loan of $800, the plaintiff made to defendants a mortgage on her home
Modified and affirmed, with costs, and case remanded forthwith.
Concurring Opinion
I concur in the affirmance of the judgment. After the argument and submission of this case before this court, the appellants requested that, since this court had indicated, during the oral argument, that the judgment should be affirmed, the judgment involved should be reinstated, and the appellants subrogated to the rights of the judgment creditor. The majority opinion, herein, has allowed this request as a motion and modified the judgment accordingly. This request or motion, as it appears, was first made before this court. I am of the opinion that this motion should be addressed to the trial court, and that the judgment should not be reinstated as a full lien of a docketed judgment, unless it clearly appears to the trial court that no intervening rights would be thereby prejudiced.
