Description
Burgess and Phillips, alleging ownership and right of possession, brought ejectment against Buchanan to recover six lots in the city of Denver, and damages for detention. Buchanan admitted their ownership but denied their right of possession. This right he claimed under an oral contract for a ten year lease, on the faith of which he had made valuable improvements. He counterclaimed for specific performance of that contract, or $9,000 for the improvements plus the good will of a business established on the lots. McHugh was formerly the owner of said lost and it is alleged that Burgess and Phillips, who took as her heirs, did so with full knowledge of the contract. Trial was to the court and to review its judgment against Buchanan for possession and damages he prosecutes this writ and asks that the same be made a supersedeas. As will be observed from what is hereinafter said no further statement of facts is necessary. There are seven assignments which we consider in order.
