Description
Appellees Mabel W. Martin, et al filed this action to recover damages for drainage and waste alleged to have been committed by Humble to appellees onethirtieth undivided interest in a vested remainder in Berkely Plantation on which appellant had drilled a number of oil wells and had captured and removed large quantities of oil. The court below entered judgment in favor of appellee, finding that she was the owner of the one-thirtieth vested interest in Berkely as remainderman, that the trustees under the will of appellees mother Anna S. C. Martin, who died December 3, 1942, had no power to execute an oil and gas lease to Humble covering appellees interest; that appellee had never executed any oil and gas lease or other conveyance to Humble; and that appellee was entitled to recover the value of one-thirtieth of the oil removed by Humble in the past and that to be removed in the future less the actual production cost. By stipulation of the parties the court retained jurisdiction to fix the amount of damages due appellee.
