This was an action for an injunction and damages by appellant against appellee, to restrain and enjoin appellee from entering in and upon certain real estate, and from in any manner interfering with appellant’s quiet enjoyment and peaceable possession of said premises, of' which appellant claimed to be the lessee for a term of years.
The cause was tried by the court and a decision ren
The error relied upon for reversal is the action of the court in overruling appellant’s motion for a new trial.
Appellant’s complaint stated a cause of action for injunction, but, the uncontradicted evidence wholly failed to justify injunctive relief. Appellee was a tenant of the real estate in controversy under a former owner, and was in peaceable possession at the time appellant became the owner thereof. His right to continue in possession was the only question presented by the evidence. Possessory actions are fully provided for by statute. §1096 Burns 1914, §1050 R. S. 1881. If there is an adequate remedy at law, injunction will not lie. Perry v. Hamilton (1893), 138 Ind. 271, 35 N. E. 836; Brown v. Herron (1877), 59 Ind. 61; Board, etc., v. Wayne County (1899), 153 Ind. 682, 53 N. E. 929; Steel v. State (1921), 191 Ind. 350, 132 N. E. 739, 18 A. L. R. 500.
Having reached the conclusion that under the uncontradicted evidence appellant has mistaken his remedy, if any he has, we do not need to consider other questions presented.
Affirmed.
