6 Colo. App. 170 | Colo. Ct. App. | 1895
delivered the opinion of the court.
Solomon commenced an action against Saly, before a justice of the peace, to recover an indebtedness of $95.00, and caused a writ of attachment to be issued, by virtue of which certain property of the defendant was seized. The return of the constable recites the levy, and the release of the attached propert}’-, upon payment to the justice of $105. The affidavit in attachment was traversed and a trial of the issue thus made was had, resulting in the dissolution of the attachment. Judgment was rendered in plaintiff’s favor upon his cause of action. The plaintiff appealed the cause to the county court. The money deposited with the justice followed the appeal. In the county court the defendant moved for leave to file a forthcoming bond, and for an order releasing the money deposited upon the filing of the bond; and, by agreement of counsel for the respective parties, this motion was set for hearing. Afterwards, by agreement of parties, the hearing was postponed to a subsequent time. On the day fixed by the last order, the plaintiff filed a motion, stating that it was based on “the returns and writs in the case,” to strike out the traverse of the affidavit in attachment for the reason that it was irrelevant and immaterial. No action appears to have been taken upon defendant’s application for leave to file a forthcoming bond.
A trial was had of the issue made by the traverse, which resulted in an order dissolving the attachment and judgment against the plaintiff for costs. Judgment was then given in his favor for the amount of his claim. This appeal is from the judgment against the plaintiff upon the attachment.
The appellant assigns for error the denial of his motion to strike out the traverse to the affidavit in attachment, and the judgment against him upon the issue made by the traverse. There is no bill of exceptions in the record,,and we do not know upon what.evidence the court sustained the traverse. We must therefore assume- that it was sufficient.
The motion to strike, upon its face, is not predicated upon
Affirmed.
