1Opinion of the Court
Walker, Associate Justice.
Ross & Bedditt, having a mortgage upon the cotton crop upon eight acres cultivated by Jno. C. Gibbs, brought suit to foreclose the lien upon a bale of the cotton. After it was seized by the sheriff, under a writ of sequestration, Hicks & Bro. made affidavit of ownership and filed claim bond under the statute.
In the justice’s court Boss & Bedditt recovered, as also in the district court, and Hicks & Bro. appeal.
It appears that Gibbs, on July 12, 1886, made a mortgage to Ross & Bedditt, to secure seventy-five dollars and future advances, upon his entire cotton crop…
