| In an ejectment action, Street and others sought to reclaim a lot in Jacksonville from McConnell. Evidence showed a chain of conveyances from Arnett to Barton and eventually to the plaintiffs. Despite Barton's deeds, the defendant claimed ownership and acted as such. The court ruled in favor of the defendant initially. However, subsequent legal analysis indicated that the plaintiffs indeed held legal title. The judgment was overturned, and the case was sent back for further proceedings. Illinois Report 17 Ill 253 is also part of this case. |
