55 S.E. 350 | N.C. | 1906
The plaintiff complains for trespass in cutting and removing timber trees from plaintiff's land "to his great damage." Under this allegation plaintiff was entitled to recover the value of the timber so removed, "together with adequate damages for any injury done to the land in removing it therefrom." Gaskins v. Davis,
In Hammond v. Schiff,
The boundary-line between the plaintiff and defendant had been established in a processioning proceeding, and the defendant admitted that he had cut and removed the trees from land lying on the plaintiff's side of said boundary-line. It is true that a processioning proceeding is for a settlement of a boundary-line, title not being involved; but if the defendant therein denies the title of the plaintiff, as well as the location of the boundary-line, upon the issue of title thus raised the case would have been transferred to the Superior Court at term time for trial, and tried as if the action had been originally brought in that Court, just as when an issue of title is raised in proceedings in partition. Smith v.Johnson,
"The broadside" exception "for errors in the charge" cannot be considered on appeal. Sigmon v. R. R.,
The plaintiff moves to dismiss because: (1) The exceptions are not "briefly and clearly stated and numbered" as required by the statute, Rev., 591, and Rule 27 of this Court. (2) The exceptions relied on are not grouped and numbered immediately after the end of (453) the case on appeal as required by Rules 19 (2) and 21,
Under Rule 20, one of the alternatives is to dismiss the appeal, and the motion is allowed, in the expectation that appellants hereafter will conform to these requirements. Sigmon v. R. R.,
Appeal Dismissed.
