Whitehead v. Wiley

The plaintiff obtained in May, 1845, a judgment against Nicholson Barnes, which was recorded in the parish of Madison in June, 1845. In 1850, he brought this action, in which he claims a judicial mortgage upon a tract of land in the parish of Madison, in possession of Wiley.

Wiley bought the land of Harney Latham in 1849 ; and Latham bought in February, 1845, at a sale made by the Marshal of the United States upon a judgment and fi. fa. in the suit of Putnam v. Barnes. Latham paid the amount of his bid, took possession, and received a deed from the Marshal, which was recorded in February, 1845.
