Thompson v. Yates

Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided December 12, 1895

Appellate Court of Illinois · decided 1895-12-12

<p>1. Execution—Returns “ With Schedule ”—Creditor’s Bill.—From the fact that the words “returned with schedule” are added to the return of an execution unsatisfied, the court can not imply that the defendant might have had property to satisfy it. If anything is implied from such a return, it is that the defendant had only property exempt from execution which is not in the way of a creditor’s bill.</p>

Mr. Presiding Justice Gary

¶1delivered the opinion of the Court.

¶2This case, with the parties reversed, was here four years ago (44 Ill. App. 145), and the decree for the now appellant was reversed for want of proof of an execution returned unsatisfied. That proof is now in the record; but apparently because the appellant was not content with one execution so returned, but sued out two more, • which were likewise' so returned, but to the returns were added the words “ returned with schedule,” the bill was dismissed upon an implication from those words that Tates might have had property to satisfy them.

¶3If anything is implied it is merely that Yates had'only property exempt from execution, which is not in the way of this judgment creditor’s bill. It is not denied that the judgment of a justice of the peace may be the foundation of such a bill. Steere v. Hoagland, 39 Ill. 264.

¶4Ho proof was offered of any right by anybody other than Yates to the fund which the bill sought to reach, and therefore the decree should have been in favor of the appellant for that fund.

¶5The decree is reversed and a decree entered here in favor of the appellant against the Home National Bank of Chicago, for the sum of $52.90, without costs. Fuqua v. Robinson, 5 Gil. 128.

¶6The appellant will recover his costs here from the other appellees. Reversed and remanded.
