61 Ga. 344 | Ga. | 1878
Millers & Sibley brought a rule against the sheriff requiring him to show cause why he did not pay them a fund in
“ The above stated case having been submitted to the court upon the facts and the law, it is adjudged by the court that as the proceeds of sale mentioned in the answer of said deputy sheriff, are the proceeds of the property of O. N. Wynne & Co., the said proceeds cannot be paid over to the fl.fa. of the said Hannah Haines, that being a fl.fa. against the said G. N. Wynne individually.”
The court held that this judgment concluded Mrs. Haines’ right to the money. We think so too, and therefore we affirm the judgment.
'If, however, on the issue made by Wynne with Millers & Sibley, when the facts are investigated and the issue determined, it be decided against Millers & Sibley, and eventually any portion of the fund should get into the possession of Wynne, individually, as his portion thereof after the partnership debts and liens are all paid, if there be any besides that of Millers & Sibley, then Mrs. Haines may have rights to such portion, which she may assert in such mode as she may be advised.
Judgment affirmed.
