Jackson v. Dunbar
Jackson v. Dunbar
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The testimony is conflicting, and we are unwilling to disturb the verdict on the facts.
We agree with the counsel for the appellant as to the legal rights of a life-tenant and the owners of the expectancy, but in this case we are not informed by the record as to the precise relation sustained towards the land by W. H. Dunbar, said to have been life-tenant, and his three daughters, who with him were payees of the rent.
Affirmed.

- Syllabus
- 1. Pleading. Joint lease. Suit by surviving lessors. On the death of one of several joint payees in a lease, the right to sue thereon for rent vests in the survivors. 2. Same. Misjoinder. Failure to object. Code 1880, § 1511. Where a recovery is had in the name of the proper parties, it is an immaterial error that one who had no right of action was joined as plaintiff, the defendant not having objected to the misjoinder as required by § 1511 of the code.
