Spencer v. Barney

California Supreme Court

Decided December 20, 1856

California Supreme Court · decided 1856-12-20

This was an action by the assignee of a mortgage to foreclose the latter. The assignment was of a time preceding the maturity of the note secured.

Decided 1856-12-20

MURRAY, C. J.

¶1— The facts relied on in this ease, to establish fraud in procuring the execution of the note and mortgage, were insufficient and the evidence was properly excluded.

¶2As to the mechanic’s or lumberman’s lien, it is not shown that the materials were delivered under any contract for such a quantity or so much lumber; but they appear to have been delivered from time to time as they were needed and purchased by the defendant; the lien therefore only extends to the amount so delivered, at the time of recording the mortgage. On the whole, we regard this as a delay case.

¶3Judgment affirmed, with ten per cent damages.

We concur: Heydenfeldt, J.; Terry, J.
