Browne v. King
Texas Supreme Court
Error to the Court of Civil Appeals for the Fourth District in an appeal from Nueces County. Browne, who had intervened in a suit by Acrbos against Mrs. King, after settlement by the latter with the plaintiffs, asserting an interest in the land in controversy, appealed from a judgment denying him recovery. On affirmance (196 S. W., 884) he obtained writ of error from the Supreme Court.
1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Phillips

Acebo and Joseph A. Acebo against Mrs. King. Later, the Acebos settled the suit by conveying the land to Mrs. King. This was without Browne’s knowledge. After this conveyance and while the case continued on the court’s docket, Browne intervened, asserting an interest in the land in virtue of a power of attorney given him by the Acebos under which he claims the suit was originally brought.
