Parties | FIRST NAT. BANK OF SEATTLE v. HEMRICH et al. (two cases. |
Court | United States State Supreme Court of Washington |
Appeal from Superior Court, King County; J. T. Ronald, Judge.
Actions by the First National Bank of Seattle, a national banking association, against Anita Hemrich, individually and as guardian of the estate of John A. Hemrich, an incompetent person, and others. Judgments for the plaintiff, and named defendant appeals.
Affirmed.
F. C Kapp, of Seattle, for appellant.
Poe Falknor, Falknor & Emory, of Seattle, for respondent.
In October, 1934, the respondent bank commenced two separate actions predicated upon promissory notes made by John A Hemrich. One suit was based upon notes made by Hemrich alone and the other upon a note signed by Hemrich and also by the Old Yankee Syrup Company, a corporation. Amelia Hemrich, as guarantor of all of the notes, was made a defendant in each suit. In each complaint it was alleged that Hemrich had pledged and delivered to the plaintiff 697 shares of the capital stock of the First National Bank of Seattle as security for the payment of the note or notes, and each complaint sought the foreclosure of the plaintiff's pledgee's lien upon the same 697 shares of stock.
The two cases were consolidated for trial below and tried to the court sitting without a jury. The trial court found:
Judgments were entered for the amount claimed in each action, and each judgment established in the plaintiff a pledgee's lien upon the bank stock and provided for the foreclosure of the lien and the sale of the bank stock to satisfy such lien.
Anita Hemrich, individually and as guardian of the estate of John A. Hemrich, has appealed, and the errors assigned and argued all go to the question of whether or not the respondent ever had a pledgee's lien on the bank stock.
We cannot set forth the various arguments presented or attempt a detailed answer to each, but must be content with indicating the evidence which, in our opinion, amply sustains the finding of fact made by the trial court hereinBefore quoted.
There was introduced in evidence so-called 'general loan and collateral agreement,' dated October 13, 1923, executed by John A. Hemrich and by him delivered to the respondent which, among other things, provides: ...
