Wagonblast v. Washbrim
Opinion
Lead Opinion
Botts, J.
An action of ejectment—jury waived, and facts as well as law submitted to the court.
In this case I find as matter of fact, that Hein and wife, being the owners of a portion of lot Ho. 1, in the block between 3d and 4th and K and L streets, in the city of Sacramento, executed a mortgage on the 21st day of April, 1853, to the defendant. In that mortgage the property conveyed is described as follows:
This mortgage was duly recorded on the 22d day of April, 1853. On the 24th day of September, 1853, said Hein and wife executed a mortgage of the premises in controversy to one Hoonen. The mortgage was duly recorded. Afterwards, on the 3d day of December, 1853, the said Hein and wife mortgaged the premise^ in controversy to J, J. Ohauvitau.
In May, 1855, the defendant filed a bill in this court making Hein and wife, mid Hoonen, parties, in which she alleged that the premises *266 mortgaged to her by Hein and wife, although misdescribed, were in fact the premises in controversy, praying a decree of foreclosure and sale of said premises. On the 22d day of June, 1855, decree entered accordingly. The defendant purchased and entered under this sale.
