Shinkle v. City of Covington
Shinkle v. City of Covington
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
We perceive no question of law or fact that was not considered at the original hearing. It is not necessary that the appellant should show title from the commonwealth in order to enable him to maintain this action. If his allegations are true, his entry was lawful and under a claim of right acknowledged by the city in the controversy between McNichol’s heirs. Whether for the one period or the other is immaterial. The city can not oust the appellant of his possession by enforcing fines upon him. The proceedings in the Mayor’s court are certainly valid, as they appear without the aid of extrinsic testimony; but when these facts appear and are admitted by reason of the demurrer the injury is irreparable and
Petition overruled.
