Lessee of Coons  v.  Gallaher

ERROR to the Supreme Court of the State of Ohio. The original action of ejectment was brought in the court of common pleas of Clinton county; and taken thence by appeal to the supreme court; where it was tried, and a verdict and judgment given for the plaintiffs, at May term 1833. Afterwards, a new trial was ordered; and on a case stated, a judgment was rendered by the court in favor of the defendant. The plaintiff prosecuted this writ of error.

The case was argued, on the merits, by Leonard, for the plaintiffs; and by Buck, for the defendant. The decision of the court having been given on the question of jurisdiction, those arguments are omitted.

TANEY, Ch. J., delivered the opinion of the court.
