Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Heydehfeldt
Heydehfeldt, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.
Murray, C. J., concurred.
Where a party of four or five men enter a building occupied by another, in the night time, during the hours of sleep, and take possession, and avow the intention to keep possession, and actually do keep possession, it is sufficient evidence of force to maintain the action of forcible entry and detainer.
The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded.
