Neill v. Watson
Texas Supreme Court
Neill v. Watson, 39 Tex. 375 (Tex. 1873)
Walker
Neill v. Watson
Opinion of the Court
The charges of the court to the jury are correct, and the remittitur entered upon the verdict leaves no ground for complaint against vindictive- damages. Neill was certainly responsible to Watson for all the money he had received on the land, with eight per cent, interest, to say the least, and the judgment is for no more.
The judgment is affirmed.
Aettrmed.
