Grillo, J.
(dissenting). I concur in the dissenting opinion of Justice Healey and respectfully register my dissent for additional reasons.
The majority concedes that when legal title is the issue of fact, the issue as to the fact is triable by a jury. That is the issue in this case. It is not an “incidental” issue of fact as suggested by the majority and thus equitable in nature. The majority thereupon notes that the defendants admit to having conveyed a warranty deed. Such an allegation is not necessarily binding upon the trier and it may be disregarded. Peiter v. Degenring, 136 Conn. 331, 338, 71 A.2d 87 (1949). The entire pleadings and all the issues raised are to be examined and not merely one part of a party’s pleadings. 47 Am. Jur. 2d, Jury § 39.
