State Home Loan Corp. v. Citizens Nat. Bank of Somerset

KNIGHT, Justice. This case, beginning over five years ago, originally involved proceedings in the lower court to straighten out the tangled affairs of E. J. Richards, a contractor and builder operating in and around Somerset, Ky. An extensive record of six large volumes was built up in the lower court and all phases of the case have been thrashed out and settled except the one involved in this appeal. That question is the priority of liens as between appellant and appellee on lots 3, 4, and 5 in Block A and lots 35 and 37 in Block H in Gibson's Addition to Somerset or the proceeds of the sale of such lots now held by the Master Commissioner of the Pulaski Circuit Court. The lots herein involved were sold during the progress of the case through the lower court and brought less than the total liens and expenses charged up against them. The amount involved in this appeal is $3500 and interest. From the judgment of the lower court denying appellant a lien and adjudging appellee a lien on said lots and the proceeds of the sale thereof, appellant prosecutes this appeal. Appellant's Story.
