Munger v. Grinnell
| Decision Date | 17 January 1862 |
| Court | Michigan Supreme Court |
| Parties | Lyman Munger v. Horace Grinnell |
Submitted January 17, 1862
Verdict too indefinite for judgment. A verdict in ejectment that defendant is guilty of unlawfully withholding "the west three-fourths of the northwest fractional quarter of section 18, town 5 south, and range 16 west, Cass county, Michigan, except twenty-five acres on the west half of said section, and three acres out off by the road from the southwest corner of said section," is so uncertain in the description it gives that no judgment can be rendered upon it. [1]

Notes:
[1]A verdict for four parcels of land, describing them, "except so much of said last two parcels of land as is contained in the plat of the village of Royal Oak, recorded in the record of deeds for said county of Oakland," is sufficiently certain: Lockwood v. Drake, 1 Mich. 14.
