W. C. Barclay and Wife v. L. W. Robertson

HOCKER, J. -- L. W. Robertson brought an action of ejectment on July 16th, 1912, in the Circuit Court of Bradford County against W. C. Barclay and his wife, Mrs. W. E. Barclay, for the possession of two hundred and forty acres of land lying in said county, and mesne profits. There was a plea of not guilty, and on the trial the judge directed a verdict for the plaintiff, which was rendered, and judgment for the plaintiff followed. It appears from the record that the plaintiff below introduced in evidence a certified copy of a judgment obtained by Robertson against W. C. Barclay in the Circuit Court of Bradford County rendered after all pleas were withdrawn by Barclay, and his consent entered of record that judgment be entered against him for the full amount claimed by Robertson, viz.: $294.23; and also for $29.42 attorney's fees. This was done on the 24th of October, 1910. Execution issued on this judgment on the 28th of November, 1910, and was admitted in evidence for the plaintiff. The plaintiff below then introduced in evidence a shefiff's deed to the plaintiff of the land in dispute, sold to him at a sale under the execution.
