Sherman v. Cameron

Jun 8, 1860
Reporters:
Per Curiam.

The appellant, Sherman, was the lessor, and the appellees the lessees, of certain premises. During ‍​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‍the time the lessees were occupying, under the lease, Sher*419man caused Helwig, the other appellant, to tear out a brick wall of the house so occupied by the ‍​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‍appellees for a book and job printing office.

TI. G. Newcomb and J. S. Tarkington, for the appellants.

Damages were claimed for this act by the lessees. Trial by ‍​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‍a jury; verdict and judgment for 100 dollars.

The evidence tends to sustain the verdict, and whatever we might decide upon that evidence if we ‍​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‍were sitting as triers, we cannot, under repeated decisions of this Court, disturb the verdict now.

The only question made is upon the sufficiency of ‍​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‍the evidence.

The judgment is affirmed with 1 per cent, damages and costs.
