Appeal from Circuit Court, Buchanan County; H. M. Ramey, Judge.
Action by J. G. Schneider against Thomas Maney. Judgment for plaintiff, and defendant appeals. Reversed.
Brown & Dolman, for appellant. Strop & Silverman, for respondent.
This is a suit on three judgments, one in favor of Francis T. Conrad for $13,493.97, another in favor of Martha Clark for $7,613.15, and the third in favor of Agnes Conrad for $7,613.51, all rendered in the circuit court of Buchanan county October 3, 1893, and all assigned to J.
