Union Machinery & Supply Co. v. Stuchell
Union Machinery & Supply Co. v. Stuchell
Opinion of the Court
The purpose of this action was to foreclose a chattel mortgage upon certain logging equipment and logging machinery. The chattel mortgage, at the time of its execution, was a part of a combination instrument which constituted a lease, an option to purchase, and a chattel mortgage. This instrument was executed and filed as a chattel mortgage. The defendant H. W. Stuchell claims under a subsequent bill of sale from the mortgagor. The defendant Lester Stuchell was the assignee of certain lien claims. These defendants appeared by answer and cross-complaint. After the issues were framed, the cause was tried to the court. The trial court found that the claims of all the defendants were subsequent and inferior to the rights of the plaintiff under the chattel mortgage, and entered judgment accordingly. The defendants above mentioned appeal.
No bill of exceptions or statement of facts has been brought to this court. Certain exhibits are sought to be made a part
The findings of the trial court are somewhat voluminous and complicated. Without reviewing these findings in detail, it may be said that a careful consideration of them leads to the conclusion that the judgment is supported by the findings.
The judgment will therefore be affirmed.
Morris, C. J., Ellis, Fullerton, and Crow, JJ., concur.
