Parties | BLOOMINGDALE v. WEIL.[*] SAME v. SECURITY SAFE DEPOSIT & TRUST CO. |
Appeals from superior court, Spokane county; Geo. W. Belt, Judge.
Suit by Emanuel W. Bloomingdale, as assignee of Marcus A. Bettman and another, against Charles Weil, and the same plaintiff against the Security Safe Deposit & Trust Company. From judgments for plaintiff, defendants appeal. Affirmed.
H. M Stephens and Saml. R. Stern, for appellants.
Graves & Graves, for respondent.
The foregoing cases were consolidated. They involve the same questions, arising from the same state of facts. The respondent claims to be the owner of certain real estate in Spokane county by virtue of a voluntary assignment made by insolvent debtors in New York for the benefit of their creditors. The plaintiff alleges in the complaint the assignment and the terms thereof, and that the defendants were citizens of Massachusetts at all times, and that the assignments were made under the provisions of and in compliance with the statutes of the state of New York providing for voluntary assignment by debtors. The provisions of the New York statute are set out. The bringing of the suit by the defendants hereinafter mentioned in the findings of fact is also alleged. The plaintiff prayed for a judgment and decree of the court; that the court decree that the defendants take no right, title, or interest in, and acquire no lien upon, the realty described, by virtue of the writs of attachment issued in the suits instituted by the defendants and the judgments recovered in said suits; and, further, that the levy of said writs of attachment and judgments were apparent liens and cast a cloud upon plaintiff's title to the land, and he prayed for a decree of the court that such apparent lien should be removed, and the title to the land quieted in the plaintiff, and that the plaintiff should have such other and further relief as should seem meet and equitable. The court rendered a decree, on the findings hereinafter set out, that the plaintiff, as assignee of the partnership property of the copartnership of M. A. & D Bettman, etc., was the owner of the land described in the findings under and by virtue of the deeds of assignments in the findings mentioned, and that the judgments and attachments referred to in the findings in no way affect the title acquired by the plaintiff as assignee, and the court decreed and declared that the title to said land was free and discharged from any apparent cloud by virtue of such attachment proceedings, etc., and that the plaintiff's title acquired by the assignments was a valid and superior title to the appellants, etc. The findings of fact were as follows:
'(1) That at all times herein mentioned the defendant Weil was, and now is, a citizen and resident of the state of Massachusetts, and during the same period the defendant, the Security Safe Deposit & Trust Company, was and now is, a corporation created under the laws of the state of Massachusetts, with it principal office and place of business in the town of Lynn in said state, and is a corporation of said state.
