Formby v. Williams
Supreme Court of Alabama
Appeal from Circuit Court, Calhoun County ; Hugh D. Merrill, Judge. Action by John F. Williams against R. L. Formby. Judgment for plaintiff, and defendant appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtThomas, J.
The action was unlawful detainer, and judgment was in favor of plaintiff in the justice court. The defendant’s appeal to the circuit court resulted in judgment for the plaintiff, from which this appeal is prosecuted.
The controverted question of fact was whether plaintiff had contracted with defendant for the rental of lands involved for 1918. That the relation of landlord and tenant existed between the parties in 1917 is not disputed.
In the trial plaintiff was asked on cross-examination the date of his first intimation as to when defendant “was going to deny the ten bales of cotton as rent”…
