Pope v. Witherspoon
Court of Appeals of Texas
Error from District Court, Nueces County; W. B. Hopkins, Judge. Trespass to try title by W. C. Witherspoon against W. E. Pope and others. Judgment for plaintiff, and the named defendant brings error.
1Opinion of the CourtCobbs, J.
This is an action in the usual form of trespass to try title to lands. It was tried without a jury. Upon request of defendant, -the court made special findings. There is also in the ease a statement of facts. The court rendered judgment in favor of defendant in error for the land, and the first question raised here is that the trial court erred in finding that Mrs. H. M. King was the common source of title. As the court’s findings are much in the nature of conclusions, we cannot clearly understand it without going to the statement of facts filed. Spearman v. Mims, 207 S. W. 574.
