Olson v. Gifford
Olson v. Gifford
Opinion of the Court
I. The sole contention is whether plaintiff was the •owner of the property described in hi® petition. Plaintiff, at the age of ¡thirteen, was 'bound by the board of supervisors to the defendant, until he should 'arrive at the age of eighteen years, and he continued to -live with and work for the defendant until he arrived at that age. Plaintiff claims to have acquired part of the property described by purchase and part by gift and delivery from the defendant. Appellant does not question that there is evidence to sustain the verdict so far as the two ¡horses claimed to have
II. It appears that appraisers were called in to 'divide the property of the defendant between him and his wife. Plaintiff introduced evidence to Show that ion that occasion the defendant pointed out the property in question as the property of the plaintiff, and that, therefore, it was not taken into consideration in the division of property between the defendant and -his wife. IP. M. Ackers was examined upon that subject, and permitted to answer ■certain questions over defendant’s objection, and of this defendant complains. One question was as to what property defendant had set aside at fhe time of the 'division as belonging to the plaintiff. Also the object of 'the appraisement, and whether 'all the other ’property was taken into consideration in the division. There was no error in overruling these objections, as the questions called for answers fending to show that 'the defendant admitted fhe property In question to be the property of the plaintiff. Other questions were asked and objected to, but 'the record does not disclose that any answers were given; therefore there was no prejudice, even if the rulings were erroneous. Other errors are not discussed; therefore, under familiar rules, will not be considered. We discover no error in tbe record, anid conclude that, under the evidence, ithe verdict should not be disturbed. — Affirmed.
