Citation | 205 P. 893,35 Idaho 270 |
Parties | BELLEVUE STATE BANK, Appellant, v. CHRISTIAN LILYA et ux., Respondents |
Court | Idaho Supreme Court |
WRIT OF ATTACHMENT - DISSOLUTION - AFFIDAVIT - STATUTE - RETROSPECTIVE EFFECT.
1. In order to authorize issuance of a writ of attachment there must be filed with the clerk by or on behalf of plaintiff an affidavit conforming substantially to the requirements of C S., sec. 6780, otherwise on motion of defendant the writ will be discharged.
2. Retrospective effect will not be given to a statute unless it appears that it was the intent of such legislation that it should have such effect.
APPEAL from the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District, for Blaine County. Hon. H. F. Ensign, Judge.
Motion to dissolve attachment. From order dissolving, plaintiff appeals. Affirmed.
Order of the trial court affirmed with costs to respondent.
J. G Hedrick and B. W. Oppenheim, for Appellant.
The existence of some one of the statutory grounds is all that is required to be shown by the affidavit. (Doggett v Bell, 32 Kan. 298, 4 P. 292.)
The affidavit is not a pleading but is more a matter of evidence and is to be given a fair and reasonable construction in arriving at its meaning. (Nichols v. Davis, 23 Cal.App. 67, 137 P. 41; Vollmer v. Spencer (dis. opn.), 5 Idaho 557, 571, 51 P. 609.)
It is not necessary to allege any other facts than those specified in the statute. (Ross v. Gold Ridge Mining Co., 14 Idaho 687, 95 P. 821.)
As justifying a liberal construction, attention is called to the pronouncement of the legislature in amending sec. 6814, C. S., so as to permit the amendment of the writ. (1921 Sess. L., c. 160, p. 354.)
This being a remedial statute (34 Cyc. 1201; 1 Blackstone's Comm. 87), in the interest of justice, the appellant might well be given the benefit thereof.
Angel & Bresnahan, for Respondents, file no brief.
Defendants moved to dissolve the attachment in this case on the ground:
The trial court made an order dissolving said attachment, from which plaintiff appealed.
The affidavit for attachment filed by appellant alleged an indebtedness "Upon three promissory notes, for $ 325, $ 81.35, and $ 20, respectively, besides, interest and costs.
It is clear from an examination of this affidavit that under the decisions of this court it is insufficient to authorize the issuance of the writ. While it admits that two of the notes were secured by chattel mortgages, it is silent as to whether there is security of any kind for the other note.
