Appeal of Sponsler
Appeal of Sponsler
Opinion of the Court
This was an appeal from the decree of the court below distributing the assigned estate of W. C. King. The fund is the proceeds of the sale of real estate and the contest is between lien creditors. The only error assigned is that the court did not award the fund to the judgment of the appellant, Eo. 59 October Term 1885. The court could not have done so without disregarding the prior judgment, No. 62 April Term 1883, now held by the Susquehanna Building Association. This the auditor appointed by the court to make distribution could not do.
The last named judgment was in full force and unsatisfied. The only ground upon which it was assailed Was that W. C. King, the plaintiff in the judgment, was also one of the defendants therein, and it was alleged that he could not occupy both positions. King had assigned this judgment to the building association above named, after which it had been revived in favor of said association. The judgment No. 62 April Term
The decree is affirmed and the appeal dismissed at the costs of the appellant.

- Syllabus
- [To be reported.] 1. When a judgment in favor of A., against himself and others, after being assigned by A. toB., is revived in favor of B.,the fact that A. occupies the position of legal plaintiff does not prevent such revived judgment from being good against A. and his creditors. 2. Creditors cannot attack a judgment before an auditor for distribution, on the ground that it is a fraud upon the debtor. They can make such attack only when the judgment has been fraudulently given by collusion, for the purpose of hindering and delaying them.
