34 Neb. 500 | Neb. | 1892
About the middle of February, 1890, David Speiser brought an action against John Roach and M. C. Nugles and caused an attachment to be issued which was levied upon certain property which it was claimed belonged to Roach. A few days afterwards this attachment was discharged by consent. On the 27th of that month judgment was rendered against Roach and in favor of Speiser. An execution, was thereupon issued and returned unsatisfied. Whereupon Speiser instituted proceedings in garnishment in aid of execution and service of summons was had upon Morris and Cooper. They answered separately, and the justice found that nothing was due from Morris to Roach but that Cooper was indebted to him in the sum of $117, which he was ordered to pay into court. From this order Morris appealed but Cooper did not. On the trial of the cause in the district court a large amount of testimony was taken and the court found that Cooper had taken no appeal and was concluded by the judgment before the justice. Roach had also filed a claim for exemption upon which the court made no finding. From that judgment the cause is brought into this court. It is claimed that the interests of Morris and Cooper were so connected that the appeal of Morris brought up the appeal of Cooper. We fail to see any connection between the cases. The rights of the respective parties, so far as appears, are separate and independent and the appeal did not bring up the entire case-Cooper therefore must pay the money into court as ordered.
Reversed and bemanded.
