McConnell v. Ryan
McConnell v. Ryan
Opinion of the Court
— Suit by appellee to recover possession of certain real estate, and for damages for the unlawful detention of the same. The cause was tried by a jury, which returned a verdict in favor of appellee for possession, and for damages in the sum of $40.
In presenting this appeal appellants allege error in the overruling of their separate and several motion for a new trial. There is serious doubt whether there has been such a compliance with the rules of this court in the preparation of appellants’ brief as to present properly any question for our consideration. However, the only question attempted to be presented is the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the verdict, and an examination of the record convinces us that this ground of the motion for a new trial is without merit as furnishing a cause for reversal on appeal.
The trial court did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.
Judgment affirmed, with ten per cent damages.
