Levin v. Steinle
Levin v. Steinle
Opinion of the Court
This is a suit instituted by ap-pellee to recover of appellant his one-fifth interest in certain plumbing tools and his one-fifth interest in the profits of a partnership of which he was a member. He also prayed for the appointment of a receiver. The record fails to show the appointment of a receiver. The cause was tried without a jury, and judgment was rendered in favor of appellee for $120, his one-fifth interest in the profits of the partnership and one-fifth interest in a certain lot of tools and supplies belonging to the partnership. It was further decreed:
“And it further appearing to the court that there exists a lien in favor of the plaintiff' against the defendant to secure a judgment of $120 herein recovered in behalf of plaintiff, upon the defendant’s four-fifths interest in the above-described property, it is ordered, adjudged, and decreed that this lien is foreclosed, and in the event the defendant fails to pay said $120 within 20 days from the date of this judgment, and the parties hereto do not report to this, court within 20 days from the day of this judgment, that they have agreed upon a division of the above-described property in the proportions above named or in either event, then the clerk of this court will issue an order *1138 of sale directed to the sheriff or any constable of Bexar county, Texas, in the terms of the law, and the said officer executing said writ shall sell said property, and he shall divide the proceeds thereof in the proportion of one-fifth to Leon Steinle and four-fifths to Nathan Levin, after having satisfied the judgment in favor of Leon Steinle of $120, and after payment of all costs herein, and in the event the interest in the above property of Nathan Levin does not sell for sufficient amount to pay the judgment herein in favor of Leon Steinle, then the remainder of said judgment shall he made from the property of the defendant Nathan Levin, and that each party in this suit shall pay one-half of the costs herein incurred.”
The evidence fails to show that a large portion of the personal property was lost, as ■contended in the third assignment of error, and it is overruled.
The sixth assignment of error is overruled. The assignment does not assail the authority of the court to provide, if the parties do not agree on a partition of the property, that it should be sold and the proceeds divided.
The judgment is affirmed.
