Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Defendants, a brother and sister, appeal from a judgment
rendered against each of them for actual and punitive damages in
an action instituted by a tenant of farm land. The amended petition of Marvin Will, in substance, alleged: He
was a tenant under an oral lease from August, 1947, to August,
1949, of a forty-acre tract of land in Morris county which was
rented by the owner, Margaret Hughes; on or about July 5, 1949,
James Hughes, a duly authorized agent of the defendant, Margaret
Hughes, wrongfully entered, broke in upon and interrupted the
quietude of his possession and directed the harvesting of wheat
being grown on the land; James Hughes maliciously and
oppressively refused to allow him to enter the premises; he
motored to Council Grove and returned with the sheriff but was
unsuccessful in his attempt to gain peaceful access to the
property for himself, his crew and equipment; he was damaged in
the sum of $129.36, the fair value of his portion of the crop
severed and carried away, in the sum of $100 for loss of one
day's use of plaintiff's combine and was entitled to $2,500
exemplary damages and the costs of the action.
