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 — Terryburnett

Terry, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court—Burnett J., concurring.

This is an action of ejectment for lands in Sacramento county.

It appears from the record that defendant Montgomery entered upon the premises in dispxite, as the tenant of Caulfield, the vendor of plaintiff, and that defendant Bacon’s possession was acquired from Montgomery.

Having entered under Caulfield, the defendants are not in a position to question his title to the premises. Whether Bacon’s entry was before or after his co-defendant had denied his landlord’s title, and claimed to hold adversely, is immaterial.

Judgment affirmed.
