Doe, on the Demise of Brown v. Owen

This was an action of trespass and ejectment, brought by the plaintiff in error against the defendant in error, to recover the possession of certain lands set forth and described in the declaration. The parties entered into the common consent rule, and an issue was joined on the plea of not guilty. A jury trial was had, and a correct and regular verdict found in favour of the defendant; on which the Court rendered judgment in favour of the defendant, that he should recover of the lessors of the plaintiff his costs, &c. To reverse this verdict and judgment this writ of error is prosecuted.
