37 Ind. App. 220 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1906
Suit by appellant upon two notes and to foreclose a mortgage.
Appellees answered separately in one paragraph, to which separate demurrers were addressed and overruled. Reply in denial. Upon request, the court made a special finding of facts and stated its conclusions of law thereon. A decree of foreclosure was entered ordering the real estate to be sold, and the proceeds to be applied: (1) to payment of costs; (2) to satisfaction of the judgment against said Susie Torphy, and (3) the balance to be brought into court “for further order.”
In view of the facts specially found, the overruling of the demurrers to the answers, if erroneous, could not prejudice the rights of appellant. The court found that appellees executed the notes in suit; that the principal note was for $1,400, and the interest note for $35; that to secure the 'payment thereof they executed a mortgage on certain real estate, describing it; that at the time of the execution of the notes and mortgage appellee Susie Torphy owned the real estate described, and still owns the same; that at said time she was and ever since has been, a married woman, the wife of her co-appellee; that there was due on said notes, principal and interest, the sum of $1,535.12, and $100 attorneys’ fees; that appellee Susie did not make any request or statement to appellant relative to its making any loan of money in consideration' of the execution of said notes and mortgage; that the only consideration received by her for the execution of the notes and mortgage was the payment by appellant of a balance of a valid mortgage indebtedness held by it against said real estate, and current and delinquent tax liens aggregating $342.80, both of which sums were deducted by appellant from the principal sum of $1,400; that the balance of said $1,400 was not received by her for her own use, or for the benefit of
Upon these findings the court stated as conclusions of law: (1) That appellant was entitled to judgment against Susie Torphy in the sum of $382.45, principal and interest, and $100 attorneys’ fees, and foreclosure of the mortgage; (2) that appellant was entitled to judgment against appellee David Torphy in the sum of $1,535.12. The decree directed that any payment upon the judgment against Susie Torphy should be credited upon the judgment against David Torphy.
Judgment affirmed.
