Description
This is an appeal from a judgment of the District Court of Nueces County, 28th Judicial District. The suit was brought by appellants, who were remote assignees from the lessee in an oil and gas lease dated July 13, 1936, executed by C. C. Miller as Guardian of the Estate of Mrs. Nannie M. Webb, a non compos mentis, as Lessor, to the Texas Company as Lessee, covering approximately seventy acres of land in Section 107 of the George H. Paul subdivision of the Driscoll Ranch in Nueces County. Appellees, who were defendants in the trial court, are the heirs of Mrs. Nannie M. Webb, deceased, and lessees under a lease dated March 18, 1948, by which the heirs leased the same property to such lessees. Appellants sought to recover damages for the conversion of certain casing located in an oil well known as Webb No. 1 Well, which was drilled on the lease by appellants immediate assignor, O. W. Killam, to whom the lease had been assigned by the Texas Company; in the alternative appellants sought to recover title to and possession of the casing and to enjoin defendants from interfering with their right to go upon the premises and salvage the same. Trial was to a jury, but when the parties had closed, the court on motion of defendants discharged the jury and rendered judgment that plaintiffs take nothing and that defendants recover of plaintiffs all costs.
