Carney v. McCelvey
Carney v. McCelvey
Opinion of the Court
T. G. Carney and wife, Lizzie, sought an injunction against Gordon B. McGuire, as substitute trustee, and H. M. McCelvey, as owner of the indebtedness secured by a deed of trust, to restrain them from selling certain real estate covered by the deed of trust, and from a judgment in vacation dissolving the preliminary writ previously granted have appealed.
The ruling of the court is alleged to be error, first, because appellants had tendered to the W. O. Belcher Land Mortgage Company the amount claimed by it as the balance of the indebtedness prior to the assignment by that company of the indebtedness to appellee H. M. McCelvey; and, further, that, if they had not tendered said amount in payment, they had tendered to the W. C. Belcher Land Mortgage Company the full amount due upon the condition that the land mortgage company should assign and transfer the indebtedness and mortgage to the Farmers’ & Merchants’ National Bank of Grandview, all of which was refused by the land mortgage company. It seems to he undisputed that appellants at no time ever offered to pay off the indebtedness to the W. O. Belcher Land Mortgage Company, and it is very doubtful if in any event they could by tendering to that company the amount due on its indebtedness require it to assign and transfer such indebtedness and mortgage to their nominee, especially since Mr. Cobb, the secretary of the W. C. Belcher Land Mortgage Company, testified that his company had previously contracted to assign the indebtedness and mortgage to appellee McCelvey, but we need not decide this question because the evidence fails to show that aiipellants or any one for them ever tendered to the land mortgage company any amount, at the same time requiring the assignment referred to.
The judgment of the district court dissolving the injunction is affirmed.
