Edwards v. Sonoma Valley Bank

By Court: 1. The defendant was a creditor of A. S. Edwards from a date prior to the execution of the bill of sale by him, and to any attempted delivery to'his vendee of the property subsequently levied upon under the execution issued upon the judgment in favor of defendant against said A. S. Edwards. Assuming a delivery and change of possession to have occurred before the levy of the execution, the sale of A. S. Edwards was nevertheless void, as against defendant, if not accompanied by an immediate delivery, followed by an actual and continued change of possession. (Watson v. Rodgers, 53 Cal. 401.) 2. The Court below found as a fact (although the finding is among the conclusions of law) that there was not an immediate delivery or continued change of possession by and from A. S. Edwards to Harasthy. We can not say that this finding is not sustained by the evidence, or that it is contradicted by, or can not co-exist with, the probative facts found. Judgment affirmed.
