Texas Supreme Court · decided 1873-07-01
Error from Comal. Tried below before the Hon. I. N. Everett. On the fourteenth of October, 1853, Andrew Neill entered into a contract of sale with R. H. Watson for eight hundred and seven acres of land in Guadalupe county, part of the Cody one-third of a league, which had been purchased by Neill at administrator’s sale of the estate of Michael Cody.
Decided 1873-07-01
¶1The charges of the court to the jury are correct, and the remittitur entered upon the verdict leaves no ground for complaint against vindictive- damages. Neill was certainly responsible to Watson for all the money he had received on the land, with eight per cent, interest, to say the least, and the judgment is for no more.
¶2The judgment is affirmed.
