1 sentence1924Gaston v. Brandenburg, supra. But, of even more conclusive force, as will be pointed out in the discussion of the case in another phase, is the insufficiency of the showing of injury on the part of the plaintiffs to sustain a charge of "manifest wrong and injustice." We are, therefore, clearly of the opinion that, in so far as plaintiffs assert title, or the exclusive right to the occupancy of this plot of *Page 102 ground in the street, under the doctrine of equitable estoppel, their position is untenable. | 1 | 1924–1924 |
