Benton v. Beakey

Supreme Court of Kansas

Decided June 10, 1905

Supreme Court of Kansas · decided 1905-06-10

<p>Error from Pottawatomie district court; Robert C. Heizer, judge.</p>

Relies on Merrill v. Prescott

Affirmed · Decided 1905-06-10

Per Curiam:

¶1The petition states a cause of action. The fact that Benton continued to hold and use the premises after the expiration of his lease, without the consent of the owner, does not prevent a recovery for use and occupation. (Gen. Stat. 1901, sec. 3864; Martin v. Allen, 67 Kan. 768, 74 Pac. 249.)

¶2No prejudicial error was committed in admitting a copy of *873the master’s deed. The defendant in error did not have the original in her possession nor under her control, and, besides, there were introduced in evidence the proceedings of another case, between the same parties, where the existence of the deed was alleged by Benton, and otherwise shown.

¶3We find nothing substantial in the objections to the rulings on instructions, and the testimony appears to be sufficient to support the verdict and judgment.

¶4The judgment is affirmed.
