After a bitter neighbour dispute the defendants had been subject to successful possession proceedings, and an order for the sale of their house irrespective of their possession. The claimants had bought the house and now sought possession. An order was granted with a penal order attached. One of the defendants refused still to leave, and an order of committal was made. The defendants now appealed.
Held: The appeals were dismissed. The grounds of the appeal were a mere refusal to accept the result of the proceedings, and the committal orders for 14 days were to be enforced.
