Opinion:
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.
