Den v. Huff

Opinion

Reese, J.:

The fact of several pleas docs not make several causes in any case but ejectment, and does not in that action necessarily. But where different questions are involved between different ■ parties upon different titles, it is proper in ejectment to sever the causes. The parties having recognized in this case a severance, and acquiesced in it, are bound by their acquiescence, and the taxation was hence proper. Each party will pay full costs.
