Adams v. Cook
Opinion of the Court
In this case a verdict was rendered by the jury in favor of the plaintiff for the land described in the writ to be released upon payment of $141.89 within sixty days. The plaintiff being dissatisfied with the verdict appealed to this court where his nineteen assignments of error were duly considered and passed upon. The result of the examination of the assignments was a failure to discover in either of them any warrant for a reversal of the judgment entered by the learned court below. The assignments are therefore dismissed and the judgment entered as aforesaid is affirmed.

- Deed—Condition—Gift—Annuity—Support. In an action of ejectment to enforce conditions in a deed which were in effect- that defendants should furnish to plaintiff a comfortable home and maintenance and to pay him a certain annuity each year, it is proper to admit evidence that plaintiff had made gifts of various instalments of the annuity to the defendants, and had evidenced this by giving to them receipts without receiving any money, and in such a case the court commits no error in charging that if the plaintiff was given a comfortable home at the house of the defendants, and treated as a man of his years ought to be treated, he could not recover the cost of maintenance and support elsewhere.
