Supreme Court of Florida

Decided June 15, 1895PublishedCited by 8 opinions

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Monroe county. The facts in the case are stated in the opinion of the court.

1Opinion of the Court

Liddon, J.:

The appellee brought its bill in chancery against appellants in the Circuit Court to foreclose a mortgage given by them to appellee. The brief of counsel present many questions of law for the consideration of the court. In our opinion, however, the appellants, who were defendants below, fully sustained their answer alleging payment of the mortgage, and denying ownership by camplaiuant of the draft alleged to be secured by the mortgage.

The decree should have been for the defendants upon the facts. Other questions, therefore, presented by the record need not be considered.
