Bassett v. Stringer

This is a suit for the actual value of timber cut by appellants, C. F. Bassett and Graham Harris, upon the lands of appellee, Walter L. Stringer. A jury in the Circuit Court of Smith County returned a verdict for appellee in the amount of $750.00. Appellants complain of the judgment based upon that verdict, asserting that the suit was brought in the wrong county, that the verdict is against the great weight of the evidence and is based upon indefinite and speculative evidence as to the amount of timber cut, and asserting error in the giving and refusing of certain instructions.
