5 N.M. 583 | N.M. | 1891
This is an action of ejectment, brought originally by plaintiff against the defendants in the district court of Grant county, to recover the possession of the “Star of the West” mine, and damages for the unlawful detention of the same. The venue was afterward changed to the district court of Sierra county, where, at the November term, 1889, a jury trial was had, which resulted in a verdict- of guilty against defendants, and plaintiff’s damages were assessed at $500. A motion for a new trial, made by the defendants, was overruled by the court, and judgment entered in accordance with the verdict, from which judgment the defendants took an appeal to this court.
The judgment of the lower court will be affirmed, ■and it is so ordered.
