Terry, C. J., and Field, J., concurring.

Ejectment to recover possession of a large tract of land, on which the defendant is alleged to have entered without title. The case was submitted to the Court, the defendant not appearing. The Court finds the plaintiff has title in himself to the whole tract, and that defendant is in possession of sixty or seventy acres, without any showing of right. Judgment is entered on this finding for possession of the whole tract, and of this the defendant complains, and now assigns it as error.

We see no error of which defendant can complain. Ho damages are claimed j they are expressly waived. As the defendant was only in possession of a part, and held this without right, it no more injured him for judgment to go against him for all than for the part he occupied. The plaintiff was not bound to measure off and particularly define the spot of land the defendant trespassed upon in order to put him off, when a general finding against him answered the same purpose, and did him no injury. The defendant has not disclaimed as to any portion of the premises, either as occupying it or claiming a right to it, and the plaintiff is not held to know that the defendant did not claim the whole—which, it seems, he could have done, for he makes no defence—by as good a claim as that under which he seized a part. The authorities show that a finding and judgment like this is not erroneous in such cases. (Coleman v. Doe, 2 Scammon, 251; Little v. Bishop, 9 B. Monroe, 240.)

Judgment affirmed.
