Harry B. Coal Co. v. Deveny-Murphy Apartment Co.

LlTZ, PRESIDENT :

The plaintiff prosecutes error to the judgment of the circuit court upon a verdict for the defendant in an action of ejectment. The subject of controversy, a strip of land 5% feet wide and 65 feet long, is part of Lot 48, adjoining Lot 47, in the city of Fairmont and more clearly appears from the accompanying plat. Both parties claim under Michael Carney, who acquired Lot 48, fronting on Madison Street between Lot 47 and Hull'Alley, and running back 165 feet, by deed from William Fleming dated April 5, 1831.
