Smith v. Yates
Smith v. Yates
Opinion of the Court
This is an action to quiet title to lots 13 and 14, Block 19, of Hyde Park Addition to Boise City, also the north 45 feet of the northwest corner of Block 17 of Resseguie’s Addition to Boise City.
The complaint is in the usual form to quiet title and prays that the defendant be required to set forth the nature of his claim and that the title be quieted in plaintiff. The answer of the defendant denied the possession or ownership of the plaintiff; admitted that the defendant claimed title to said lots, and alleged that the action is barred by secs. 4036 and 4037, Rev. Codes; also alleged that defendant entered into possession of said lots under claim of title founded on a
The cause was tried by the court without a jury and the court thereafter made findings of fact and conclusions of law and entered a decree in favor of defendant, quieting the title to said lots in him. The appeal is from the judgment.
The errors assigned go to the refusal of the court to admit certain evidence offered by the plaintiff and to the sufficiency of the evidence to support the findings.
Upon an examination of the record, we find that the evidence is sufficient to sustain the findings of the court and that there was no reversible error in the action of the court in excluding certain evidence offered by the plaintiff.
The judgment must therefore be affirmed, and it is so ordered, with costs in favor of the respondent.
