Doom v. Thompson
| Decision Date | 24 May 1948 |
| Docket Number | 36802. |
| Citation | 35 So.2d 535 |
| Court | Mississippi Supreme Court |
| Parties | DOOM et al. v. THOMPSON et al. |
Jones & Ray, of Jackson, for appellants.
Tighe & Barksdale, of Jackson, for appellees.
Appellants admit that they committed the trespasses without any leave or license from the parties injured, but contend that they did so at the directions of the Power Company and they say that the Power Company only should be held liable. No authority is cited for any such a proposition, and the contention is contrary to all the authorities. And since appellants are severally liable and have given a solvent appeal bond, they are in no position to complain that judgment should have gone also against the joint tort feasor, the Power Company. Appellees might have raised that question by a cross-appeal, but they have not done so and make no complaint here about it. And there is no mention or complaint by any party as to the amounts awarded by the judgments.
Affirmed.
