Jones v. Desmond

Jones v. Desmond
California Supreme Court · Decided March 26, 1885
2 Cal. Unrep. 455; 6 P. 420

Jones v. Desmond

Opinion of the Court

By the COURT.

The defendants allege and the court found that in the action of Brooks v. Swineford the plaintiff recovered a judgment for the sum demanded in his complaint. The allegation must be deemed to be denied by the plaintiff in this action; and it is assigned as error that the finding is not justified by the evidence. We are unable to find any evidence of the recovery of a judgment by the plaintiff in the action of Brooks v. Swineford. The finding is upon a material issue, and as there is no evidence to sustain it, there must be a new trial. No other material error is specified.

Judgment and order reversed.
