Mississippi County v. Byrd

This is an action by Mississippi County against defendant W.R. Morgan, and others, to condemn property in furtherance of the State Highway System. The commissioners appointed by the circuit court in pursuance to the petition reported that no damages accrued to this defendant, refusing to make an allowance. Thereupon defendant filed exceptions to the commissioners' report, and in due time a trial was had in the circuit court to a jury. The jury returned a verdict finding the damages sustained by said defendant are nothing, an appeal being taken from the judgment entered thereon.
