Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
Appeal from Circuit Court, Greene County; James T. Neville, Judge.
Action by H. E. Howell and others against Thomas A. Sherwood and another. From a judgment for plaintiffs, defendants appeal. Reversed and remanded.
This is a suit in ejectment, for the possession of a tract of some 10 acres of land, situate in the city of Springfield, Greene county. The petition was in the usual form, and the answer of defendant Sherwood was a general denial of all the allegations of the petition, except the one of possession, and that defendant Blakey was a disclaimer of all interest in the premises, except as a tenant of his codefendant. The cause was tried by the court without the intervention of a jury, which resulted in a judgment for the plaintiff, and defendant duly appealed to this court.
Charles Carlton was the common source of title; and after the introduction of all the evidence, the defendant requested, and the court made, a special finding of facts, which, omitting formal parts, is as follows:
