Court | Pennsylvania Supreme Court |
Argued March 5, 1894
Appeal, No. 24, Jan. T., 1894, by R. Slimmons & Co., et al from order of C.P. Northampton Co., Feb. T., 1893, No. 24 refusing issue in Hagy & Bittner v. Poike. Affirmed.
Rule to show cause why issue should not be granted to determine disputed facts concerning distribution of money arising from sheriff's sale of personal property.
The petition for the rule alleged that the petitioners, R Slimmons & Co., and Hugh O'Donnell, were judgment creditors of Frederick A. Poike, and that they had issued execution upon their judgments; that, prior to the issuance of their writs, Poike had confessed two judgments, one in favor of Hagy & Bittner, the appellees, for the amount of $1,507.03, and the other in favor of Solomon Tannhauser for the amount of $187.56; that execution was issued upon both these confessed judgments and the personal property of the said Poike was levied upon and sold by the sheriff.
The petitioners further represented that there were material facts in dispute between them and the other alleged judgment creditor, Hagy & Bittner, arising from the said sale by the sheriff of the personal property of the said Poike under the execution of the said confessed judgment of Hagy & Bittner. That at the time of the confession of this judgment, the said Poike was indebted to a large number of creditors, among them the petitioners, to an amount largely in excess of the value of his property, and that he did not have the means to pay the said judgment and his other creditors. That the judgment confessed by the said Poike to the said Hagy & Bittner was fraudulent, collusive and without consideration. That the said Poike was insolvent during the time that the alleged indebtedness of Hagy & Bittner was created, and that by means of said confession of judgment the title to the said personal property of the said Poike was transferred to the said Hagy & Bittner, and by them to the said Poike with intent to defraud the petitioners.
