Hanks v. Beagle
Hanks v. Beagle
Opinion of the Court
This case is closely related to the prior case of Beagle v. Hanks et al., Civil No. 8271, in which an opinion was this day filed (ante, p. 298 [270 P.2d 113]). The action of Beagle v. Hanks et al. was filed on March 12, 1951. It was tried in September of that year and judgment was rendered March 5,1952. By that judgment it was decreed that the plaintiff therein was not the owner of the real property involved in these actions, except insofar .as he could claim under the contract of sale whereunder he went into possession. On April 4, 1952, after the rendition of said judgment, this action was begun by the brothers and sisters of Basil Burton Beagle, plaintiff in the prior suit. By their complaint they alleged the making of the contract between defendant herein and his father, which contract was involved in the prior action. They further alleged that the defendant had repudiated that contract by filing and prosecuting said prior action, wherein he sought to establish title by prescription. The trial court found that said contract had been so repudiated and was subject to termination for that reason. An interlocutory judgment was entered which, while declaring the contract was subject to termination, nevertheless extended to defendant Basil Burton Beagle an opportunity
