70 Mo. App. 613 | Mo. Ct. App. | 1897
In December, 1883, Wyatt obtained a judgment against Fromme, Elston, and Hamilton, the two last named parties with one Robinson (who was not served with process) being securities for Fromme on the- note sued upon. In November, 1893, an execution was issued on this judgment, the same beiDg ordered out by J. R. Edwards, who claimed to be the assignee of the judgment. Thereupon defendant Fromme filed his motion to quash the execution on the alleged ground that the judgment had been paid and satisfied prior to assignment. At the trial of this motion the circuit court sustained the same, and Edwards, the alleged assignee of the judgment, appealed.
As to what Fromme may have done toward repaying his securities, and whether or not he had settled with them or their heirs prior to the issue of this execution, is of no consequence in the present case. It is sufficient now to state that, according to the evidence, the judgment, which forms the basis of the execution in question, was paid off and extinguished long before the execution was issued and long prior to the pretended assignment to Edwards.
Judgment affirmed.
