Whittle v. Doty

Supreme Court of California

2 Cal. Unrep. 702 (Cal. 1886)

Opinion

          Department 2. Appeal from superior court, Amador county.

          The plaintiff in his complaint, for a second cause of action, which is the one considered on this appeal, alleged that he was the owner in fee of the S.W. 1/4 of the N.W. 1/4 of section 23, in township No. 7 N., of range No. 9 E. Mount Diablo base and meridian, situated in the county of Amador and state of California. The defendant answered, and claimed an interest adversely to the plaintiff in and to the following portion of said land, to-wit: Commencing at the north-west corner of said subdivision, and running thence east, along the northern boundary thereof, to the north-east corner thereof; thence south, about nine and one-half rods, to a fence crossing said subdivision from east to west; thence west 80 rods, along said fence, to the western boundary of said subdivision; thence north seven and one-half rods, to the place of beginning,— said piece of land containing four and one-quarter acres, more or less. The plaintiff claimed that the claim of the defendant was without right, and prayed that he might be enjoined from asserting any claim whatever to the premises adverse to himself. The case was tried by the court without a jury, and, in accordance with its findings of facts, entered a judgment for the plaintiff, quieting in him the title to the land, and restraining the defendant from setting up any claim thereto. The defendant contended that the findings were contradictory, and failed to cover the material issues; but the court entered up its judgment, and defendant appealed.          COUNSEL

          Blanchard & Swisler, for respondent, Whittle.


         OPINION
