St. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado Railroad v. Lewright
St. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado Railroad v. Lewright
Opinion of the Court
This is a proceeding seeking to-condemn the land of the defendants for a right of way of plaintiff’s railroad. We have decided at the present term in Musick v. Railroad, 43 Mo. App. 326, that where proceedings of this character contemplate, practically a divestiture of title, they are suits involving title to real estate, within the meaning of section 12, article 6, of the constitution, and that the supreme court has-exclusive appellate jurisdiction thereof. It would seem.
It is, therefore, ordered that the clerk at once transfer all the papers in this case, with a copy of this order of transfer, to the supreme court.
