269 P. 595 | Idaho | 1928
Plaintiff herein petitions for a writ of review challenging the action of the district court and the judge thereof in appointing a receiver in a foreclosure action brought by one Williams on a second mortgage against plaintiff herein and others.
Plaintiff in the foreclosure action, in his petition for a receivership, stated that certain moneys had been paid on a first mortgage to the Federal Land Bank, which mortgage, by the terms of the mortgage being foreclosed, "became part of this mortgage and subject to foreclosure according to the terms thereof," relying as to such phase of the controversy *645
on Reed v. Hartsock,
The petition also alleges that the mortgage being foreclosed was delinquent and the taxes on the property unpaid.
A supporting affidavit made by the attorney for Williams reasserted the existence of the first mortgage and that taxes for two years had not been paid, and that "the value of the said property does not (the word 'not' evidently being inadvertently omitted) exceed the sum of $12,000 and is wholly insufficient to discharge the indebtedness against the same."
In opposition affidavits, it was asserted that the money paid by the Federal Land Bank was Vaught's, that is, the money of one of the defendants therein, plaintiff herein; that the land was worth $20,000; and that the money was paid by Vaught to the mortgagee's attorney to discharge the taxes and pay the principal and interest due the Federal Land Bank.
In certiorari the sole question relates to jurisdiction. (Utah Assn. of Credit Men v. Budge,
The proceedings below are affirmed and the writ dismissed. Costs to defendants.
Wm. E. Lee, C. J., and Budge, J., concur.
