Gossett Ellis, Dietrich & Tyler and L. L. Watts for relator.
(1) In a proceeding under Secs. 1184, 1185, R. S. 1929, where property seized in execution is claimed by a third party, the only issue for trial is whether or not the property belongs to the claimant, and it is error to render a money judgment against the plaintiff and in favor of the claimant. Mastin v. McBride, 81 Mo. 354; Langford v Fanning, 7 S.W.2d 729; Williamson v. Bank of Curryville, 69 Mo.App. 368; 50 C. J. 191; Williams v. Braden, 57 Mo.App. 317; Hargadine-McKittrick Dry Goods Co. v. Carnahan, 83 Mo.App. 318; Citizens Trust Co. v. Elders, 212 Mo.App. 589. (2) The claimant in this case is estopped from asserting ownership of the automobile in question regardless of what the facts as to actual ownership might be. Page v. Butler, 15 Mo. 56; Ewart on Estoppel, 263; First National Bank of Holdenville v. Kissaire, 22 Okla. 54; Platner v. Bourne, 275 S.W. 590; Peddicord v. Ins. Co., 26 Ill.App. 407; Lick v. Monroe, 69 P. 285.
J. F. O'Sullivan and J. W. Kachelhofer for respondents; O. H. Stevens of counsel.
(1) In certiorari to a court of appeals the facts stated in the opinion of such court are the only facts this court will consider. State ex rel. Northwestern Nat. Ins. Co. v. Trimble, 20 S.W.2d 51; State ex rel. Ry. Co. v. Haid, 37 S.W.2d 438. (2) Alleged conflict in the opinion under review with that of another court of appeals or an authority from some other state does not in this proceeding concern this court. State ex rel. Valentine Coal Co. v. Trimble, 28 S.W.2d 1030; State ex rel. Mann v. Trimble, 290 Mo. 266; State ex rel. Am. Packing Co. v. Reynolds, 287 Mo. 710. (3) In reviewing an opinion of a court of appeals it is not the province of this court to determine as an original proposition, whether the ruling of that court is right or wrong. State ex rel. Harrington v. Trimble, 31 S.W.2d 785; State ex rel. Tummons v. Cox, 282 S.W. 694; State ex rel. Weisheyer v. Haid, 26 S.W.2d 940; State ex rel. Ry. Co. v. Haid, 37 S.W.2d 438. (4) The opinion under review is not in direct conflict with any previous controlling decision of this court.
Certiorari. In this proceeding relator seeks to have quashed the opinion and judgment of the Kansas City Court of Appeals in the case of American Asphalt Roof Corporation, a corporation, appellant, v. Mollie V. Marler, L. W. Marler and D. G. Marler, respondents, on the grounds that its decision in said cause is in conflict with the decisions of this court.
The facts of the case considered by the Court of Appeals, and its ruling with respect to them, sufficiently appear from the following excerpts taken from its opinion:
The ruling just set forth is the one against which relator lodges its complaint. It is peculiarly worded. If the Court of Appeals by couching it in the form it did meant to hold that the court, in a special statutory proceeding, may make any...
