Littlefield v. Ham

JENKINS, J.

Appellant filed in the district court of Bell county his petition for injunction, in which he alleged that the A. B. Crouch Grain Company had obtained a final judgment against him in the justice court of precinct No. 1, Bell county, from which no appeal was taken; that execution had been issued on said judgment, and levied by appel-lee, as constable, on property of appellant; that the same had been advertised for sale, and would be sold by said constable if he was not restrained from doing so. As ground for injunction, he alleged that since the levy, as aforesaid, a writ of garnishment had been sued out against Mm in a suit pending against Grouch Grain Company, in the county court, and. that he had answered therein that he was indebted to Crouch Grain Company in the amount of the judgment against him in the justice court, and had paid said amount into the registry of the county court; that Crouch Grain Company was insolvent. The district judge granted a temporary injunction. Appellee filed a motion to dissolve said writ, for the reason that the allegations in appellant’s petition were insufficient to entitle him to an injunction. The court sustained said motion and dissolved the temporary writ theretofore issued. In this there was no error.

If appellant had pleaded the facts as alleged by him in answer to the writ of garnishment, he would have been entitled to judgment discharging him from said writ.

Finding no error of record, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

Affirmed.
