29 Neb. 256 | Neb. | 1890
In May, 1886, the defendant in error brought an action of forcible entry and detainer against the plaintiff in error and on the trial recovered judgment. The case was then appealed to the district court, where the judgment was affirmed. This judgment was rendered on the 19th day of July, 1887, and on the next day a writ of restitution was issued, and the plaintiff in that action (defendant in error) put into possession. The case was thereupon brought into this court and reversed. (Lipp v. Hunt, 25 Neb., 91.) On the 15th of February, 1889, the mandate from this court was received by the district court and afterwards a motion was filed to restore the possession of the premises to Lipp. This motion was filed on the 23d of February, 1889, but no ruling seems to have been had thereon until the 11th of May of that year when the court overruled the motion and apparently .in another action rendered a decree quieting the title of Hunt in the premises. What the
Plaving obtained possession by means of an erroneous judgment, and that being reversed, there is nothing to sustain his claim of right and he must surrender the same until by the judgment of a court upon matters put in issue by the pleadings he shall be declared to be entitled to the possession thereof.
There having been no supersedeas bond, the right to recover under our statute will, at least until the final determination of the case, be limited to such of the real estate us at the time of the reversal was still possessed by the defendant in error. (Parker v. Courtnay, 28 Neb., 605.) This makes it unnecessary to consider the second point in the plaintiff in error’s brief.
The judgment of the district court is reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings.
Reversed and remanded.
