McIver v. Williams
McIver v. Williams
Opinion of the Court
In order to justify the direction of a verdict for plaintiff, the court must have concluded that the un-contradicted evidence showed that there had been a sale of the horses and wagon upon credit, which had become absolute at the time of the recaption of the property by defendant. In this, we think, he was mistaken. The defend
It appears that Thiele was garnished by several persons, as a debtor of Williams, on the day before Williams took possession of the horses, but that Williams was not served with process until several days afterwards. There is nothing in the record to show whether the garnishee actions referred in any way to an indebtedness supposed to arise from a purchase of the horses, or in fact whether the actions ever went to judgment. We cannot consider what the effect might be if in fact they did go to judgment against Thiele.
By the Court.— Judgment reversed, and cause remanded for a new trial.
