New York & Texas Land Co. v. Dooley

FLY, Associate Justice.

This is an action of trespass to try title to eighty acres of land which was instituted by appellee against appellant, and which resulted in a verdict and judgment for appellee.

The land in controversy was patented to appellee by the State of Texas on August 3, 1880. Appellant claims the land through a deed from Philip Palmer and wife.

In the patent to the land the name of appellee was written “Doorley” instead of “Dooley,” and the second assignment of error is based on this mistake. The names are idem sonans. Cline v. State, 31 S. W. Rep., 175; Galveston, H. & S. A. Ry.…
