Syllabus

<p>1. Improvements by defendant in action of trespass—Tenant.— A defendant in an action of trespass to try title who makes improvements on the premises after suit brought, no matter what his intention may have been as to their removal, has no more right to claim that he acted in good faith than a mere trespasser. This is so though he may have sequestered and replevied the premises; and no tenant of his having' notice of the suit has any greater rights than himself.</p>
