Williams v. Walker

Supreme Court of Iowa

Decided October 6, 1860

Supreme Court of Iowa · decided 1860-10-06

Plaintiff sued Walker and Whitty and had certain lands attached as their property. One Hamlin appeared and moved to dissolve the attachment, which motion was sustained, and from this order plaintiff appeals.

Decided 1860-10-06

Wright, J.

¶1Hamlin was not a party to the action. By *78what authority he was permitted to interpose the motion to dissolve, does not appear. There are some affidavits tending to show that he owned the lands attached. Admitting that he was the owner, he would have no right upon that ground to be heard in this way. This is well settled in the cases of Loring v. Edes, 8 Iowa 427; Whipple v. Cass, Ib. 126; Phillip v. Shelton, 6 Ib. 545.

¶2The order dissolving the attachment is reversed.
