Schneider v. Miller
Schneider v. Miller
Opinion of the Court
This action was.brought' in October, 1911, to foreclose a mortgage given to secure the payment of three notes dated October 28, 1903, and which by their terms became due in one, two, and five years from date. In April, 1912, the summons and complaint were amended so
The errors relied on are: (1) Failure to find that the time of payment had been extended. (2) Refusal to hold that the mortgaged premises were the homestead of the mortgagors. (3) Appointment of a receiver. (4) Allowing interest on past-due instalment of interest and on amount paid by mortgagee for insurance. (5) Allowing costs and $100 solicitor’s fees. (6) Ordering a judgment for deficiency against Anna Miller. (7) Allowing the second amendment' to the complaint. (8) Making findings which failed to dispose of the issues in the case.
1 and 2. The finding of the court that the time of payment of the notes was not extended to or beyond the time when the action was begun is amply supported by the evidence. So is the finding that the premises were not the homestead of the mortgagors. This being so, on the showing made the case was a proper one for the appointment' of a receiver.
3. The second mortgagee was made a party in the present suit. After plaintiff applied for a receiver and after notice of lis pendens had been filed, such second mortgagee commenced an action to foreclose his mortgage, the plaintiff
4. The mortgage expressly provided for the payment' of interest on past-due instalments of interest and also for interest on amounts disbursed for insurance; so there was no error in making such allowances.
5. The items of costs allowed appear to be legal, and the evidence showed that the solicitor’s fees provided for in the mortgage were reasonable.
6. The property mortgaged was owned jointly by the defendants John Miller and his wife, Anna. The mortgage was given to pay a prior mortgage on the same premises. The note was signed by both of the parties. Under these facts it was proper to provide for a deficiency judgment against Anna Miller. Kriz v. Peege, 119 Wis. 105, 95 N. W. 108; Citizens L. & T. Co. v. Witte, 116 Wis. 60, 92 N. W. 443. In the instant ease the wife assisted in borrowing the money to preservq her own property, and charged that
We do not think there is any merit' in the seventh or eighth errors assigned. .
