Forcible Detainer.—Appeal from the Circuit Court of Edgar County; the Hon. Henry Van Seller, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the November term, 1900.

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Burroughs

This was an action of forcible detainer, brought by appellant on the 6th day of May, 1899, before a justice of the peace of Edgar county, against appellee, to recover possession of certain premises situated in that county. On a trial, the justice of the peace rendered judgment in favor of appellant for such possession, and the case was removed by appeal to the Circuit Court, where it was tried without a jury, and resulted in a finding and judgment against appellant, who brings it to this court by appeal, and urges us to reverse the judgment on the ground that it is against the evidence.
