Seaboard Air Line Railway Co. v. Hartline
Seaboard Air Line Railway Co. v. Hartline
Opinion of the Court
Prior to this action in ejectment a suit in equity was brought against the company by M. L. Vincent, J. H. Vincent, Wm. A. Hartline and Rosie C. Hartline, his wife, to impress a vendor’s lien upon the land that without the owner’s knowledge or consent had been appropriated and was occupied by the railroad company as a right of way.
The Hartlines had conveyed their interest in the land and the Vincents had taken the conveyance with the defendant company in adverse possession of the right of way, therefore, neither the Hartlines nor the Vincents could maintain the suit in equity and the bill of complaint therein
See Malsby v. Gamble, 63 Fla. 508, 57 South. Rep. 687.
As to the right to maintain this action see 27 Fla. 443; 25 Fla. 853; 76 Fla. 581; 70 Fla. 245.
Affirmed.
