"Reports of cases at law and equity argued and determined in the Supreme Court of Arkansas; January and July term 1846 and January term 1847" ("Arkansas Reports") Vol.7, by E. H. English, pgs.100 to 102 (California State Law Library, Sacramento, 12/2003)
DUNCAN v. RIPLEY; Supreme Court of Arkansas; 7 Ark. 100; January, 1846, Decided.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Phillips county. This was an action of replevin brought by Thomas C. Ripley against James Duncan, for a mare and colt, and determined in the Phillips circuit court in October 1845, before the Hon. John T. Jones, judge.
The plaintiff filed with his declaration the following affidavit: "STATE OF ARKANSAS, COUNTY OF PHILLIPS. Sct. Personally came before the undersigned, clerk of the circuit court in and for the county and state aforesaid, Thomas C. Ripley, the plaintiff in the foregoing declaration, who, being first duly sworn, says on oath that he is lawfully entitled to the possession of the property in said declaration named, and that the same was wrongfully taken and is wrongfully detained by the said James Duncan, the defendant therein named, and that this said plaintiff's right to the same has accrued within two years. THOMAS C. RIPLEY. Sworn to and subscribed before me, this 17th of Oct. 1844. WILLIAM KELLER, Clerk."
The declaration was in the cepit et detinet. At the May term 1845, defendant appeared, and filed a plea in abatement of the writ, alleging, in substance, "that the plaintiff did not file in the office of the clerk of the court, before the issuance of the writ, the affidavit of himself or some credible person for him, stating that his, the plaintiff's, right of action for the property in the declaration mentioned has accrued within two years next before the commencement of the suit, according to the statute," &c. Issue was taken to the plea, the cause submitted to the court, sitting as a jury, the court found for plaintiff, and, as the record states, "the defendant saying nothing further in bar or preclusion of said plaintiff's action," rendered judgment that plaintiff retain the goods, and awarded a writ of inquiry returnable to the next term, at which time the writ was executed, and final judgment rendered. Defendant appealed, and assigned for errors: 1st, that the court found for appellee on appellant's plea in abatement: 2d, the court rendered judgment against appellant without process having been served upon him, &c. &c.
(opinion) JOHNSON, C. J. It is contended by the appellant that the circuit court erred in rendering judgment against him when he had not been legally served with process. To recognize the force of this objection at the present stage of the proceedings, admitting it to be well founded in fact, would be to permit the party pleading to retrace his steps, and thereby to invert the whole order of pleading as prescribed and settled by the wisdom and experience of ages. If he desired to question the sufficiency of the service, he should have moved to that effect in apt time and before interposing his plea in abatement of the writ. By pleading in abatement of the writ, he has admitted the legal sufficiency of the service, and that the court has rightfully acquired jurisdiction of his person. It is also contended that there is error in the judgment upon the plea. The plea denies the sufficiency of the affidavit. We have carefully compared the affidavit with the section of the statute upon which it is founded, and believe it to be a substantial compliance with it. Judgment affirmed.
