Shepherd v. Story

Opinion of the Court

BRICKELL, C. J.

We cannot perceive that the failure of the jury to assess the value of the property and damages for its detention, can work any injury to the appellant. It may be of injury to the appellee, and may embarrass, if it does not bar his right to recover damages for the detention of the property during the time it was in the possession of the appellant, but to the latter it can work no injury.

Affirmed.
