1 Ky. Op. 8 | Ky. Ct. App. | 1867
Opinion op the Court by
The evidence taken before the commissioner seems to us to sustain his report of rents and waste, and the allowance of interest on the annual installments of rent is deemed proper, under all the circumstances. The third section of article 2, chapter 56, of the Kevised Statutes (2 Stant. 92) provides that “ rent after it is due shall carry interest like other liabilities originating in contract.”
The right of the chancellor to proceed by attachment to punish a party who, in contempt of his authority, willfully refuses to perform the judgments or orders of the court, is unquestionable; but ordinarily the mere failure to satisfy an execution or judgment,
Erom the transcript as certified to us by the clerk we do not feel authorized to infer that the record was not properly signed by the-special judge. It is not, therefore, necessary here to decide what may have been the effect of an omission to do so.
Wherefore, the judgment for the balance found due the appellees by the commissioner’s report is affirmed, but so much of the-judgment as awards an attachment against the appellant is reversed. As to the alleged contempt, further proceedings may be had not inconsistent with this opinion.
