Houston Oil Co. of Texas v. Ainsworth

* Writ of error granted January 24, 1923. This was a suit in trespass to try title by appellees to recover of appellants 640 acres of the Uriah Davidson grant in Hardin county, Tex. It is conceded that appellants owned the record title, and that appellees' claim was under the statute of ten years' limitation. They sue for the land by specific metes and bounds, with an alternative plea for an undivided interest. Appellants also asserted a defense under the five years' statute of limitation. This is the second appeal in this case. Opinion by this court; Houston Oil Co. v. Ainsworth, 192 S.W.…
