Herrell v. Sizeland
Illinois Supreme Court
Writ of Error to the Circuit Court of Macon county; the Hon. C. B. Smith, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Craig
This was an action of ejectment, brought'by the plaintiffs in error, heirs of William Dewees, against James Sizeland and Melissa Sizeland, to recover possession of a certain tract of land in Macon county.
A trial in the circuit court, a jury having been waived, resulted in a judgment in favor of the defendants, and the plaintiffs bring this writ of error.
William Dewees originally owned the land in controversy, and the plaintiffs in the action are his legal heirs. For several years previous to the death of William Dewees the defendants had been living with him in his house upon the land.
