16 S.W. 555 | Tex. | 1891
This action was brought by appellee against B.S. Alford to recover the sum due on two promissory notes executed by the latter to the former on May 13, 1889, and to foreclose a chattel mortgage of same date executed to secure payment of the notes. On the same day the notes sued on were executed Alford rented a store room from Mrs. Brackenridge, for no period, but at a rental of $30 per month, to be paid at the beginning of each month, and this he continued to occupy until June 27, 1890, at which time he *18 had paid all rent falling due to October 13, 1889. The property mortgaged to Millan consisted of such articles as are commonly used by persons who conduct a soda fountain or like business, and were used and situated in the rented promises. Mrs. Brackenridge intervened in the suit, and claiming a superior lien on the mortgaged property, sought a judgment for the sum due her and to enforce her lien against her tenant as well as against the claim of plaintiff; but the court below held the lien of plaintiff to be the superior lien, and the only question on this appeal involves the correctness of that ruling.
The question involved in this case was decided adversely to appellant in case of Building Association v. Cochran,
There is no error in the judgment, and it will be affirmed.
Affirmed.
Delivered May 8, 1891.
