Coburn v. Ames
Coburn v. Ames
Opinion of the Court
Ejectment for land and a wharf connected therewith.
The plaintiff recovered the land, but not the wharf.
From this order the defendant appealed, and this court reversed the order, on the ground that plaintiff was not entitled to all the money, but did not determine what portion thereof either party was entitled to, and remanded the case, with instructions to adjust the accounts in accordance with the opinion of the court. (57 Cal. 201.)
On the receipt of the remittitur the lower court heard the evidence produced by the parties, and ordered that the money be equally divided between plaintiff and defendants. From this order the present appeal is taken, on the ground that it is not justified by the evidence.
The evidence strongly tends to prove that the de-. fendants were entitled to at least one half of the money.
The record shows no ground for the point that the court erred in ordering plaintiff to pay the fund into court. All that appears is, that “motion for order to compel plaintiff to pay said fund into court granted.” Neither the motion nor the grounds upon which it was made or granted, nor any exception- to the granting of it, appears. And it is even uncertain whether or not any appeal from it has- been taken.
I think that both orders should be affirmed.
Gibson, C., and Belcher, C. C., concurred.
For the reasons given in the foregoing opinion, the orders appealed from are affirmed.
