Michigan Supreme Court October 30, 1877 (Wells v. Hollenbeck)

Campbell, J.

Hollenbeck sued and recovered against Wells in trespass quare clausum fregit for the destruction of growing wheat in a field alleged as in his possession, and averring the wheat to be his property.

In order to make out his case he testified in his own behalf to the destruction of a part of the crop by sheep which belonged to Wells, and which strayed upon the premises.
