133 Ala. 630 | Ala. | 1901
It is laid down by Mr. Pomeroy that “The doctrine [of equitable assignment] is also justly extended, by analogy, to one who, having no previous interest, and being under no obligation, pays off the mortgage, or advances money for its payment, at the instance of a debtor party and for his benefit, such person is in no true sense a mere stranger and volunteer.” The doctrine thus stated has recently been approved and applied by this court, (Faulk et al. v. Galloway, 123 Ala. 325) ; and it is believed not to be inconsistent with any of our previous adjudications.
Reversed and remanded. -
