33. Manningv. Mitcherson Introduction: Uranium: DQ 1.43 & Start of Brief Radium: DQ 1.44

34. Manningv. Mitcherson Once Upon a Time in a small town in Georgia there lived Two Canary Birds …

35. Manning v. Mitcherson • “Sweet” lived with Mrs. Mitcherson • [“Sour”] lived with Mr. & Mrs. Manning • Looked almost identical • Same parted crest • Both escaped

36. Manning v. Mitcherson • “Sweet” lived with Mrs. Mitcherson • [“Sour”] lived with Mr. & Mrs. Manning • Both escaped

37. Manning v. Mitcherson • One of the escaped Canary Birds flew into Mr. Brown’s kitchen. • Mr. Brown gave it to the Mannings. • The Mannings refused Mrs. Mitcherson’s request for the bird. • Mrs. Mitcherson sued.

38. Manning v. Mitcherson:DQ1.43: Uranium(What’s at Issue?) The parties initially disagreed as to whether the bird found in Brown’s kitchen was “Sweet” or “Sour.” Whose version of the facts did the magistrate accept?

39. Manning v. Mitcherson:DQ1.43: Uranium (What’s at Issue?) • Magistrate/Justice of Peace Rules in Favor of P Mitcherson. • Ga SCt.: “The answer of the ex-officio justice of the peace in this case, the same being a certiorari and no traverse thereof, must be taken as true, ...” “no traverse thereof” Means here?

40. Manning v. Mitcherson:DQ1.43: Uranium (What’s at Issue?) “The answer of the ex-officio justice of the peace in this case, the same being a certiorari and no traverse thereof, must be taken as true, ...” • “no traverse thereof”  no objection/rebuttal made • Answer must be “taken as true “ = Justice/Magistrate’s factual findings not Q’ed. • “Taken as true” about facts not law • Ga SCt wouldn’t defer to legal holding of Magistrate

41. Manning v. Mitcherson:DQ1.43: Uranium (What’s at Issue?) • Justice’s answer must be “taken as true “ = Justice/Magistrate’s Factual findings not Q’ed. So what are facts for purposes of the case?

42. Manning v. Mitcherson:DQ1.43: Uranium (What’s at Issue?) • Facts for purposes of the case = • Plaintiff’s Version = • Canary in Browns’ Kitchen was “Sweet” So What is Defendant’s Legal Claim on Appeal?

43. Manning v. Mitcherson:DQ1.43: Uranium (What’s at Issue?) Defendant’s Legal Claim • Not “It’s My Bird” (No Traverse) • Not “It Was Never Her Bird” (Years In Cage) • Must Be: “She Lost Property Rights When It Escaped”

44. Manning v. Mitcherson:BRIEF: Uranium STATEMENT OF THE CASE: • Mitcherson … ? • sued Manning, … • [theory of case] • [remedy requested]

45. Manning v. Mitcherson:BRIEF: Uranium STATEMENT OF THE CASE: • Mitcherson, original owner (OO) of escaped canary • sued Manning, … ? • [theory of case] • [remedy requested]

46. Manning v. Mitcherson:BRIEF: Uranium (STATEMENT OF THE CASE) Mitcherson, OO of escaped canary sued • Manning, who was given the bird by its finder, • [theory of case] = under a “possessory warrant” (= summary action for return of personal property) • [remedy requested]

47. Manning v. Mitcherson:BRIEF: Uranium (STATEMENT OF THE CASE) • Mitcherson, OO of escaped canary sued Manning, who was given the bird by finder, • under a possessory warrant • not “conversion” b/c not asking for $$ • not crazy to say “replevin” but poss. warr. appears to be its own cause of action in Ga. • [remedy requested]?

48. Manning v. Mitcherson:BRIEF: Uranium (STATEMENT OF THE CASE) • Mitcherson, OO of escaped canary sued Manning, who was given the bird by finder, under a possessory warrant … • For return of the bird. (Sweet!!)

49. Manning v. Mitcherson:BRIEF: PROCEDURAL POSTURE • After a trial, the magistrate awarded possession to the Plaintiff. … Need to include “After a trial” to clarify not decided: • on pleadings (like Pierson) • on Directed Verdict (like Liesner & Shaw)
