| Parties | FLETCHER, Plaintiff in Error v. KEYTE et al. |
| Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
Error to Macon Court of Common Pleas.--HON. WILLIAM A. GUYSELMAN, Judge.E. A. Fletcher and J. L. Berry for plaintiff in error.
B. G. Barrow and Gillstrap & Matthews for defendants in error.
Action for forcible entry and detainer. Complaint insufficient because not verified by affidavit. (1 W. S., 643, § 6). The justice, therefore, never acquired jurisdiction; no more did the court of common pleas. As the judgment of that court, however, went for the defendants, we affirm the judgment.
All concur.
AFFIRMED.
