Error to St. Clair; Eldredge, J., presiding. Ejectment by Frank B. Petit against the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad Company. From a judgment for plaintiff on verdict directed by the court, defendant brings error.

1Opinion of the CourtMontgomery, J.

This case has once been before this court. See 114 Mich. 362. On the former hearing the questions which relate to the plaintiff’s title were dealt with, and the conclusion reached that the plaintiff had shown title to an undivided one-fourth of the premises in dispute, and that, on the record there presented,' no estoppel was shown. After the case was remanded, the defendant was permitted to amend its plea by adding thereto a claim for improvements. The case has been retried, resulting in a judgment for plaintiff, based on a verdict directed by the court, and defendant has brought error.
