Kerr v. State

1 Citing case

  1. Great Am. Ins. Co. v. Lang

    416 S.W.2d 541 (Tex. Civ. App. 1967)   Cited 7 times

    Yet in this case the testimony of the Langs, viewed in complete disregard of any other evidence, which they gave with laudable candor and forthrightness as to what items were in the safe and their values, makes it impossible for them to escape, even with the aid of the jury, from the plain fact that sixty-five percent, in value of the insured property was not locked up in the safe when the thieves broke in and took away more than $4,300 in property lying outside the safe. The holding of the court in Kerr v. State, Tex.Civ.App., Austin, 205 S.W. 474 (1918), rehearing denied Tex.Civ.App., 206 S.W. 363 (no writ), although there concerned with a jury finding in a land boundary suit, is in point in this lawsuit. In the Kerr case the evidence comprised 25 sets of field notes, 13 patents, 11 maps, 8 file wrappers from the land office, and a connecting run by a surveyor.
