Eshom v. Eshom
Decision Date | 02 June 1916 |
Docket Number | Civil 1493 |
Citation | 18 Ariz. 170,157 P. 974 |
Parties | JOHN J. ESHOM and O. A. ESHOM, Appellants, v. TULA LEIVAS ESHOM, Appellee |
Court | Arizona Supreme Court |
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of the County of Mohave. John A. Ellis, Judge. Reversed and remanded.
Messrs Clark & Clark, for Appellants.
Mr S.D. Stewart and Mr. W. E. Moroney, for Appellee.
The material portions of the complaint upon which this action was tried are as follows:
That the defendants are brothers, both have been engaged for several years in the business of stock-raising, and they are "entirely familiar with each other's business and affairs.
The relief demanded is a judgment for $4,000 and interest against the defendants, and general relief.
These facts set forth the right of the plaintiff prima facie to recover a judgment for the value of her share of the property sold to Telly Bland in proportion her share of the property bears to the whole property as measured by the whole purchase price received. The alleged sale by John J. Eshom to O. A. Eshom, in August, of plaintiff's share in the property was a sale by one co-owner of his share, and an attempt made by him to also sell the share of his co-owner. Such attempted sale was without effect of conveying title unless the seller had authority to sell his co-owner's property, or unless the sale was thereafter ratified. The complaint states facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action.
The defendants in their answer to the merits admit the allegations set forth in the first and second paragraphs of the complaint, with the exception that they deny that the defendants are or have been entirely familiar with each other's business and affairs. This is an admission that they are and have been familiar with each other's business and affairs, but not with absolute entirety. Therefore it must be considered that they were familiar with the business herein referred to and charged, unless otherwise denied.
They deny that...
