Description
Plaintiff-appellant, John B. Corbin, appeals from a judgment for the defendant-respondent, Harrison E. Galloway, rendered by the Circuit Court of Bates County, Missouri, sitting without a jury. The action was a suit in ejectment and for damages of $2,400 based on plaintiff's claimed ownership of certain strips of land in Bates County and defendant's wrongful withholding of possession and cutting a hedge therefrom. Plaintiff owned 100 acres of farm land, and defendant owned 562 acres of farm land contingent in part to the west and south sides of plaintiff's land. Many years ago there was a public road known as the ""old Papinsville Road"", which ran generally from the northwest corner of plaintiff's 100 acre tract, south along the west side of it to the southwest corner thereof, then east along the south side of the tract to its southeast corner, and then south several miles to Papinsville. It is agreed that this road had been abandoned, the date being variously placed somewhere prior to 1920 to more than 84 years ago. The road had grown up in trees, brush and grass, and its exact location is in dispute although its general location as lying between the two farms is acknowledged.
