¶1Suit to foreclose a mortgage, and to Suit correct mistakes in the mortgage and in the note intended to be secured by it.
¶2The suit was by James K. Armstrong, against Washington S. Baker, Nancy J. Davidson, David Davidson, Christopher S. Hiatt and Jacob Stroup.
¶3Baker was the maker of the note and mortgage; Nancy J. Davidson was the payee and the grantor of the land intended to be embraced in it, to Baker. David Davidson was her husband. Hiatt was the grantee of Baker, and Stroup of Hiatt. Possession was taken by each of the purchasers upon the purchase.
¶4Armstrong, the appellee, the plaintiff below, is the equitable assignee of the note and mortgage, the same having been transferred to him by the Davidsons, and he prosecutes this suit against all the parties supposed'to be interested in the property.
¶5The defendants Nancy J. Davidson, David Davidson and Christopher S. Hiatt made default.
¶6Baker and Stroup defended. They severally demurred to the complaint, and their demurrers were overruled, and exceptions saved.
¶7They severally answered.
¶8Replies were filed. Issues were formed, and were tried by the court, and a finding made for the plaintiff. A decree was rendered pursuant to the finding, and no exception was taken to it by the parties present in court. No motion in writing for a new trial was filed, and the evidence is not in the record.
¶9The first point made by the appellants is, that the plain*191tiff had no title to the note and mortgage, for the reason that a married woman, with, the consent of her husband, could' not make an equitable transfer of the note and mortgage by sale and delivery of the same to the purchaser. Moreau v. Branson, 37 Ind. 195, and Cox’s Adm’r v. Wood, 20 Ind. 54, settle this point. She could make such transfer.
¶10The second point made is, that the complaint is bad for want of a sufficient prayer.
¶11In Bennett v. Preston, 17 Ind. 291, a demurrer for want of sufficient facts was filed, and, on argument, the objection made was, want of a sufficient prayer. The court said:
¶12“ The first cause of demurrer was not available, because the complaint made a case for some kind of relief. And a demurrer under the fifth subdivision of section 50 of the code, (2 R. S., p. 38,) viz., that the complaint does not state facts sufficient, etc., will be overruled, if on the facts stated the plaintiff is entitled to any relief whatever, although not that demanded. Stuyvesant v. The Mayor, etc., 11 Paige, 414; Yoorhies’ Code, supra. Defect in the prayer for relief is not ground of demurrer, but for a motion to make more specific.” Goodall v. Mopley, 45 Ind. 355. See 2 R. S. 1876, p. 188, sec. 380, and notes.'
¶13In this case, facts were stated making a valid complaint.
¶14As to the defendant Hiatt, the complaint alleged, that it was understood that he had some interest in the land mortgaged, and he was made a party that he might answer touching his interest, if any he had. As we have seen, he failed to answer, and the record does not disclose that he had any interest. It shows that at one time he might have had, but that he had parted with it, if he had any;—whether by quitclaim deed, or otherwise, does not appear; nor does it appear that-he had paid any thing on the land. Nothing appears in the record showing any error of which he can complain.
¶15The Davidsons did not appeal.
¶16*192As to. the defendants Baker and Stroup, they severally filed six paragraphs of answer, to which there were replies, forming issues involving all material questions that could arise in the cause, and under which evidence was admissible, elucidating all points touching the transactions between all the parties, and disclosing the facts as to notice, the bona fides of the transfers, and all the equities between the parties. See Conwell v. Clifford, 45 Ind. 392.
¶17The evidence not being in the record, we presume in favor of the correctness of the decree rendered.
¶18The judgment is affirmed, with five per cent, damages and costs.
