Mansfield v. Mansfield
Mansfield v. Mansfield
Opinion of the Court
This suit was brought by W. E. Mansfield against John and Mabel Mansfield, husband and wife, to recover 960 acres of land in Bandera county, fully described in the pleadings. In plaintiff’s second amended original petition Laura Mansfield was vouched in as warrantor, and plaintiff prayed for judgment against her upon her warranty if he failed to recover the land. The defendants, John and Mabel Mansfield, pleaded verbal and written gifts by Laura Mansfield to John Mansfield of said land and another tract of 320 acres prior to the execution of the deed to plaintiff, and by cross-action sought to recover from plaintiff said 960-acre tract, and from, plaintiff and Laura Mansfield the 320-acre tract. Plaintiff and Laura Mansfield filed pleas of misjoinder of parties and causes of action, which were sustained by the court, with the result that the cross-action was limited to the 960 acres sued for by plaintiff. Laura Mansfield filed an answer, and the parties filed supplemental pleadings, but for the purposes of this opinion the above statement will sufficiently disclose the issues. The cause was submitted upon special issues, and the answers thereto being in favor of plaintiff, judgment was rendered thereon in his favor.
