Eugene W. Hagan Et Al. v. John J. Crowley

GOODWYN, Justice. This is a statutory ejectment suit brought by appellees against appellants to recover possession of a tract
of land bordering on what is now known as Robinson's Bayou, near Dog River in Mobile County. The case was tried without the
intervention of a jury, the evidence being taken orally before the trial Judge. From a judgment in favor of plaintiffs, the
defendants prosecute this appeal. It is insisted by appellants that judgment should have been in their favor because, first, appellant Hagan has acquired title
to the property by adverse possession, and second, title to the property is outstanding in a third party. The other appellant-defendant,
Rachel Hayes, is Hagan's tenant in actual occupancy of the property.
