Cincinnati Water Co. v. City of Cincinnati
Ohio Supreme Court
Cincinnati Water Co. v. City of Cincinnati, 4 Ohio 404 (Ohio 1829)
Cincinnati Water Co. v. City of Cincinnati
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiff might, perhaps, have rested his title upon his possession, but he has chosen to set out his title, and he must therefore sot out a good title. 1 Chit. Pl. 215. He claims title under an ordinance of the city of Cincinnati, and from his own showing it appears that his rights depend “ upon certain terms in said ordinance expressed.” It does not appear what those terms are, or whether they are such as give him any rights,
Demurrer sustained.
A plaintiff, who is to recover upon the strength of his own case, is to show that sufficiently to entitle himself. 13 Bast, 112; 1 Bos. & Pul. 97.
