Complaint for land. Before John B. L. Smith, judge pro hae vice. Houston superior court. May 15, 1916.

1Opinion of the CourtAtkinson, J.

This was an action of complaint for land and mesne profits, instituted by an administrator. The defendant denied the alleged value of the mesne profits, and set up title to the land under a parol gift and sale of the land by the plaintiff’s intestate. Held:

1. The evidence was insufficient to establish a gift or sale of the land by the intestate, as alleged by the defendant; and there was no error in directing a verdict for the plaintiff for recovery of the land. If certain evidence which was excluded by the court had been admitted, it would have been insufficient to have changed the result.
