Strawn v. Taylor, 19 Ill. App. 653 (1886)

Feb. 25, 1886 · Illinois Appellate Court · No. 72

19 Ill. App. 653

No. 72.

Strawn et al. v. Taylor.

Opinion filed Feb. 25, 1886.

This was a bill in chancery to foreclose a mortgage executed by Preston A. Berry and wife to Taylor, to which bill plaintiff in error, James GL Strawn, was made a defendant, the Bill reciting that he claimed some interest in the mortgaged premises, as purchaser, mortgagor, judgment creditor or otherwise, but such interest was subject to said mortgage. All of said defendants were duly served with process and made default, and a decree was entered upon the 24th of June, 1884, for 81,136.25, amount of principal and interest due on the notes, and also for 850 attorney’s fee as a part of the costs. The objections to the decree are all frivolous, and not one of them even points in the direction of a meritorious defense.

The decree is therefore affirmed.

Attorneys, for plaintiffs in error, Mr. Oscar A. DeLeuw; for defendant in error, Messrs. Brown & Kirby.
