Court | Wyoming Supreme Court |
ERROR to the District Court, Sheridan County, HON. JOSEPH L STOTTS, Judge.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
Reversed.
E. E Lonabaugh and W. S. Metz, for plaintiff in error.
A denial by motion, unsupported by affidavit, of the truth of the grounds for attachment as alleged in the affidavit for attachment, amounts to no denial at all, and creates no issue. Until an affidavit is filed by defendant denying the grounds set forth in the attachment affidavit, the plaintiff can not be required to submit proof to sustain the writ. (R S., Sec. 2911, 2918; Barton v. Ferguson, 37 S.W. 49; Sawyer v. Flow, 1. C. C. A., 56; 48 F. 207; Jordan v. Dewey, 59 N.W. 88; Jenks v. Richardson, 71 F. 365; Bank v. Bailer, 67 N.W. 865; Bank v. Swan, 3 Wyo. 368; Wearne v. France, id., 273.)
No appearance for defendant in error.
This is an appeal from an order of the district court dissolving an attachment upon motion of the defendant's attorney, in which said motion the grounds for the attachment contained in plaintiff's affidavit are set out and denied.
This action was originally brought under the provisions of the Revised Statutes of 1887, which read as follows:
In pursuance of the above statute the plaintiff presented to the court his affidavit, in writing, which reads as follows:
The court thereupon made the following order (omitting the title):
Thereafter within the time and as provided by law, the writ of attachment having been issued and served, said defendant by his attorney filed in said case the following motion to discharge attachment (omitting the title):
"And now comes the defendant I. P. Latham, and moves the court to discharge the attachment as to the property attached in this case at the suit of the plaintiff for the following reasons: The defendant denies that the statements in the affidavit for attachment filed in said cause, to wit: 'And said defendant is about to sell, convey, and dispose of his property with fraudulent intent to cheat and defraud his creditors, and to hinder and delay them in the collection of their debts, and that said defendant is about to remove his property out of the jurisdiction of this court with the intent and to the effect of cheating and defrauding his creditors and of hindering and delaying them in the collection of their debts; and that said defendant is about to remove from and become a non-resident of the State of Wyoming' are true, but they are each and all wholly false and untrue and will so appear and be shown on the hearing hereof."
A hearing was had upon said motion, the record of which is as follows (omitting the title):
