      Weber, Fisher, Perra & Gibson, Brattleboro, for Plaintiffs.
    
      McCarty & Rifkin, Brattleboro, for Defendants.
   Per Curiam.

This case was commenced as an action in district court formerly known as justice ejectment. After dismissal of the ejectment action, it was amended to a declaratory judgment action concerning the rights of the parties under an option to purchase after default. This became an action to try title, which is not cognizable in district court. 4 V.S.A. § 437.

Judgment vacated for lack of jurisdiction in the trial court.
