To this declaration the defendants filed but one plea, in which they say they are not guilty of the grievances charged against them in plaintiff\u2019s declaration. This plea in effect is simply a plea of non detinet.\nThis case was tried by the court, the jury being waived by agreement.\nThe court found the title of the property in the defendant, and that the plaintiff pay the costs, and awarded to the defendants a writ of retorno hdbendo.\nThe grievance complained of in the declaration was the detention of property only. The plea of non detinet put this only in issue. Hackett v. Jones, 34 Ill. App. 562; Hanford v. Obrecht, 38 Ill. 493; Bourke v Riggs, 38 Ill. 320; Underwood v. White, 45 Ill. 437; Ingalls v. Bulkley, 15 Ill. 224.\nThe court erred in finding the title of the property in the defendants. The plea of non detinet admits the title of property in the plaintiff. Van Namee v. Bradley, 69 Ill. 299; Vose et al. v. Hart, 12 Ill. 378.\nThere was no plea setting up title to the property in controversy in defendants. The finding of the court can not be broader than the issue, consequently the court erred in finding the title to the property in defendants and in awarding them a writ of retorno. Terhune v. Matson, 40 Ill. App. 296; Vose et al. v. Hart, supra; Hackett v. Jones, supra.\nFor the errors indicated the judgment of the court below must be reversed and this cause remanded.",
