Billingsley v. Stutler
West Virginia Supreme Court
Error to Circuit Court, Marion County. Action by Morgan Billingsley against William A. Stutter and others. Judgment for plaintiff, and defendants bring error.
1Opinion of the Court
Dent, PRESIDENT:
This is an action of unlawful detainer instituted by Morgan Billingsley v. William Stutter and others, in the circuit court of Marion County, for the possession of a certain tract of land in the possession of the defendants. It resulted in a judgment in favor of the plaintiff. The defendants obtained a writ of error.
The first error assigned is, that the land is, not sufficiently described in the summons. The description strictly follows that contained in the conveyance, and is therefore sufficient as held in the case of Simpkins v. White, et al., 43 W. Va. 126.
