description

Summary

Summary: Betts recovered a judgment for $54.50 against Porter in the JP court. Porter never satisfied the judgment. Betts sued Porter and Russell for a bill of discovery and injunction. Betts claimed that Russell owed Porter money on several promissory notes and wanted to discover the amount. Betts requested an injunction to prevent Porter or Russell from assigning any notes or property to others to escape the judgment. Porter retained Lincoln and claimed that several people owed him approximately $185.20. The court found that Porter owed Betts $76.48 and that Russell owed Porter $200.45. The court ruled for Betts and awarded $200.45, of which $76.48 plus costs went to Betts and the remainder went to Porter.
