Treadway v. James
California Supreme Court
Treadway v. James, 57 Cal. 137 (Cal. 1880)
Thornton
Treadway v. James
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiffs in this case showed that they were entitled to at least nominal damages. Their cattle, when in a very poor condition, and in a dry season when there was no food for them except at a distance, were excluded by the defendants from land where the plaintiffs had a right to have them, from which a cause of action arose, and by which they suffered some damage. The nonsuit was improperly granted, and the judgment and order denying defendants’ motion for a new trial are consequently reversed, and the cause remanded for a new trial.
Sharpstein, J., and Myrick, J., concurred.
