Supreme Court of Missouri November 12, 1900 (Hand v. City of St. Louis)

VALLIANT, J.

Plaintiff brings this suit in equity to divest the defendant city of the title which it holds to a piece of land conveyed to it by plaintiff’s father, now deceased, for a certain public use, and to vest the same in plaintiff, as her father’s devisee, on the ground that the city has diverted the property from the use for which it was conveyed and applied it to a different purpose.
