PHILIPPINE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

EN BANC

[G.R. No. 1752. February 26, 1906. ]

NICASIO CAPULE, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. EVARISTO CAPISTRANO, Defendant-Appellant.

F. Manalo, for Appellant.

L. Joaquin, for Appellee.

SYLLABUS


1. REALTY; POSSESSION; PLEADING AND PRACTICE. — An unsupported allegation which appears for the first time in appellant’s brief, that a certain document was not produced in evidence, notwithstanding the fact that the contrary appears from the certified bill of exceptions, can not be taken into consideration in reviewing the record submitted to this court on appeal.


D E C I S I O N


CARSON, J. :


This is an action to recover possession of a tract of land described in the complaint, and damages for the unlawful detention thereof.

The only question raised by the pleadings and submitted in appeal is one of fact, and so to this, we are of opinion that the trial judge rightly found that the plaintiff purchased the land in question from one Eduardo Capistrano, since deceased, through whom the defendant claims as heir at law, and that the plaintiff took possession thereof prior to the death of said Eduardo Capistrano and was thereafter unlawfully deprived of said possession by the defendant.

Counsel for defendant and appellant alleges in argument that the document evidencing the said sale was not produced in evidence, but this allegation which appears of record for the first time in appellant’s brief , and is not supported by affidavit or otherwise, can not be taken into consideration in view of the fact that in the judgment of the trial court, as it is set out in the bill of exceptions, the court expressly declares that the transfer was proven by said document, corroborated by four witness.

We are of opinion, however, that the claim of damages set out in the complaint was not sustained by the evidence introduced at the trial, and therefore the judgment appealed from, so far as it allows damages, should be, and is hereby, reversed, and the plaintiff’s claim of damages expressly disallowed.

With this modification the judgment of the trial court is affirmed, with the costs of this instance against the Appellant. At the expiration of twenty days judgment will be entered in accordance herewith and the record remanded to the court from whence it came for execution thereof. So ordered.

Arellano, C.J., Torres, Mapa and Johnson, JJ., concur.
