Grange v. American National Bank
Opinion
Lead Opinion
This is an action in claim and delivery brought for the recovery of certain securities. Plaintiff had judgment for the delivery of the same, and in the event that such could not be had, then for the sum of $3,155, the alleged total value thereof. The appeal is taken on the judgment-roll alone.
Appellant claims that the judgment should be reversed, for the reason that it does not clearly specify what is to be done. ■
There is no merit in the appeal., The claimed uncertainty is based upon recitals with reference to the proceeds had from the sale of certain bonds which it was stipulated might be sold pending the litigation. With this change the findings follow the complaint, and judgment is given for the return of the unsold specific personal property described therein, together with the sum of $1,764.33, the amount received from the sale of the bonds. In case delivery of the specific personal property cannot be had, then the alternative portion of the judgment provides for an amount which constitutes the full value of the property sued for, included in which is the sum derived from the sale. There is no uncertainty in the judgment.
