English v. Barnes

This appeal involves a sale for division of land in Monroe County, Alabama, owned by the English family. This 160-acre tract of land was involved in the earlier case of English v. Brantley, 361 So.2d 549. (Ala.1978).

On October 17, 1977, a complaint was filed seeking to cut the timber from the land and divide the proceeds and then divide the land if possible between the owners. The plaintiffs also asked that the land be sold if it could not be equitably divided. Later plaintiffs decided they only wanted the timber cut and sold and the proceeds divided.
