Supreme Court of Iowa October 21, 1885 (Evans v. Burns)

Adams, J.

The appellant Dayton denies that the plaintiff is entitled to any lien at all. He concedes that Burns executed three notes, that they were all secured by one mortgage, and that the plaintiff’s judgment was rendered upon the one first falling due; but he contends that the judgment was afterwards paid. Whether it was paid or not is the principal question to be determined.
