Appeal from circuit court, Harrison county; W. T. Zenor, Judge.
W. N. & R. J. Tracewell, for appellants. M. Z. Stannard, for appellees.
On September 12, 1883, the Louisville, New Albany & Corydon Railway Company, for the purpose of securing the payment of its negotiable bonds and interest coupons thereto attached, executed to appellants a mortgage upon its real estate, its road, and its equipments, including an engine called “Samuel J. Wright,” which mortgage was on said day recorded in the office of the recorder of Harrison county, Ind., in Record No. 12. On August 4, 1887, appellants filed in the Harrison circuit court their complaint for the foreclosure of the mortgage, making defendants to said action, among others, the appellees Sweeney & Sweeney. Appellees, Sweeney & Sweeney, filed an answer to the complaint, and also filed a cross-complaint. Appellants then dismissed their complaint as to Sweeney & Sweeney. Issues were joined between the appellees and appellant Watts, trustee, upon the cross-complaint, and a trial was had, and judgment rendered upon the cross-complaint in favor of the appellees. The following errors are assigned: (1) That the court erred in overruling the separate demurrer of the appellants to the first paragraph of the cross-complaint of the appellees. (2) The court erred in sustaining the demurrer of the appellees to the plea in abatement filed by appellants to the cross-complaint of the appellees. (3) The court erred in sustaining the demurrer of the appellees to the second paragraph of the separate answer of the appellants to the cross-complaint of appellees. (4) The court erred in overruling the separate motion of appellants to separately docket and try the cross-complaint of appellees. (5) The court erred in overruling the motion by appellants for a new trial on appellees' cross-complaint. (6) The cross-complaint of appellees does not contain sufficient facts to constitute a cause of action against appellants.
