Large v. Dennis
Large v. Dennis
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the Court.
There is no error in this judgment. The first objection to it made by the plaintiff in error, is to the
The next error assigned is, that the warrant did not show that the land injured by the act of the plaintiff in error lay in Cocke county. This was not necessary. .The proof showed it; and that was sufficient. Bodenhamer vs. Bodenhamer, 6 Humph., 264.
It is next said the warrant is in form, trespass vi et armis, when it should be in case for consequential damages. This is untenable by the same authority. 6 Humph., 264. The form of the warrant is nothing. The justice must decide on the evidence. Besides, some of the proof shows a direct injury.
The charge of the Circuit Judge is next objected to; but we can see no error in it. In relation to the license claimed, to overflow the plaintiff’s land, it followed the case of Harris vs. Miller, Meigs’ Rep., 158. And in all other respects seems free of objection.
Affirm the judgment.
