Decision Date | 25 April 1892 |
Citation | 12 S.Ct. 783,36 L.Ed. 585,144 U.S. 665 |
Parties | GREGORY et al. v. BOSTON SAFE DEPOSIT & TRUST CO. et al |
Court | U.S. Supreme Court |
In an action at law, brought in the court below, in the name of Charles F. Jones against William C. N. Swift, judgment was rendered against the latter upon a promissory note dated April 20, 1883. That judgment was satisfied by the payment into court, pursuant to an agreement between the parties, of the amount, principal and interest, due upon it,—$24,926,90. Subsequently, January 10, 1887, that sum was transferred to the credit of the suit in equity in the same court of Charles A. Gregory v. Frederick A. Pike et al., No. 2,170, 'to remain subject to the order of the court in that cause.' On the 26th day of March, 1887, the clerk deposited $24,000 of the above sum in the Boston Safe Deposit & Trust Company, to be held by it subject to the order of the court. The balance was deposited with the Merchants' National Bank of Boston.
The present suit was brought August 6, 1887, by Gregory and Jones, against the above corporations and Mary H. Pike, executrix of Frederick A. Pike, to obtain a decree declaring Gregory to be entitled to the above funds as the proceeds of the note on which the judgment against Swift was rendered. The bill makes no reference to the fact that the fund in dispute was subject to the order of the court in equity suit No. 2,170.
This cause having been heard upon the pleadings and proofs, the bill of complaint was dismissed, with costs to be duly taxed. The circuit judge in an opinion disclosing the nature of the suit, and the facts established by the evidence, held that the decision of the question whether Mrs. Pike, as executrix, had a lien on the Swift notes or their proceeds, to the extent of $25,000, 36 Fed. Rep. 408, 414.
