Moseley v. Farrell

Texas Supreme Court

Decided January 15, 1869PublishedCited by 1 opinion

Error from Brazos. The ease was tried before Hon. John A. Buckholts, one of the district judges. The only point in the ease is stated with sufficient terseness by the chief justice. The question of jurisdiction was not raised in the court below, unless it was by general demurrer. There was no assignment of errors.

Morrill, G. J.

—The note sued on was due 24th June, 1862,

Galling for---------------------------------------$116 66

Interest to 24th October, 1868, at 10 per cent---- 38 86

155 52

Paid 24th October, 1865-------------------------- 25 00

Balance due-----------------1--------------------$130 52

This calculation shows that the district court had jurisdiction when the suit was brought. There is no error. The appeal was evidently taken for delay.

Judgment affirmed with damages.
