John P. Cochran vs. Joseph B. Deakyne, et. ux.

New Castle County,

May Term, 1897.

Headnote

Sheriff’s Sale. Judgment.—A judgment creditor has such standing in Court, as to give him a right to object to the confirmation of the sale of land against which his judgment was a lien.

This was an application by a judgment creditor, of the defendant, for a rule to show cause why a sheriff’s sale should not be set aside.

Burris, for the respondents,

objected that the petitioner was no party to the proceedings and had no right to object to the confirmation of the sale.

Rodney, for the petitioner, in reply,

contended that his interest as a judgment creditor gave him the right.

Chief Justice Comegy decided that a judgment creditor had such a standing in court as to give him a right to object to the confirmation of the sale of land, against which his judgment was a lien.

Rule made absolute.
