Head Matter:
Jude Taylor vs. Anthony J. O’Neil et al.
A declaration in trespass and ejectment must show the nature and character of the plaintiff’s estate.
Trespass and Ejectment. On demurrer to the declaration.
December 10, 1885.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The court thinks that the declaration should set forth the title of the plaintiff in terms so explicit that a judgment in his favor will determine the ehar acter of his estate, and not simply his right of possession. Stephens on Pleading, *304-308. Demurrer sustained.
Thomas W. Robinson, for plaintiff.
William H. Clapp, for defendants.
