239 N.W. 143 | Minn. | 1931
The only relief sought by plaintiff against defendants Joseph S. Goodin and Louise Ann Goodin, his wife, is to have set aside a deed from herself and her husband, now deceased, conveying to defendant Joseph S. Goodin land in Hennepin county. Fraud and breach of a contract of maintenance and support, alleged to have been entered into concurrently with and as consideration for the deed, are the grounds assigned. As against defendant Anoka National Bank, the only remedy sought is the annulment of two mortgages, in which defendants Goodin are the mortgagors and it is the mortgagee. There is no demand for any remedy, strictly in personam, against defendants, and no money judgment is sought against any of them. In that situation we hold the action to be local and not transitory. G. S. 1923 (2 Mason, 1927) § 9207; Kommer v. Harrington,
Such cases as State ex rel. Weld v. District Court,
Here plaintiff's ultimate purpose is to procure a judgment reinvesting her with the title of Hennepin county land. All other issues are incidental and collateral. The action is local within the rule of our cases as stated in Quinn v. Butler Brothers,
It follows that a writ of mandamus must issue directing that the case with all the records and files therein be sent back to Hennepin county for trial.
