JUDGMENT Jackson, J. 1. Appeal from the decree of the Subordinate Judge of Cocanada in A.S. No. 45 of 1921. The plaintiff and defendant entered into an oral agreement whereby the defendant was permitted to rest the beams of a structure upon plaintiffs wall, and to open certain cupboards in the said wall, in exchange for land which plaintiff added to his property. Plaintiff alleges that the full amount of land has not been made over to him, and sues to have the cupboards and beams removed. The lower appellate Court has found that less land than what is alleged by plaintiff was agreed to be exchanged, and that defendant has fulfilled his part of the agreement. Accordingly it has dismissed plaintiffs suit and plaintiff appeals. 2. Two points have been argued: (1) The lower appellate Courts finding on the facts is not based upon any evidence (10th ground of appeal); (2) the exchange pleaded by defendant is not valid since there was no registered document and no delivery (2nd ground). 3. I do not find that the lower appellate Court proceeded without regard to the evidence. Appalaswami (D.W. No. 3) says that the land given in exchange extended to the west as far as the line in continuation of the western boundary of the western verandah of plaintiffs house and to the north of the red line in Ex. B. That is the triangular section south of the new wall and north of the red boundary line which the Subordinate Judge finds to have been the portion surrendered by defendant and this finding on the evidence cannot be traversed in second appeal. 4. It is a very small strip of land admittedly below Rs. 100 in value (District Munsifs judgment, para. 7). Therefore, there is no question of the necessity of a registered document. Each party has delivered possession to the other, the defendant by allowing plaintiff to wall off the triangle of land, and the plaintiff by constructing the cupboards in defendants side of the wall and having them available for his use. Therefore, the exchange is valid, and plaintiff has no right to oust the defendant. As regards the other grounds of appeal (Grounds Nos.
Therefore, the exchange is valid, and plaintiff has no right to oust the defendant. As regards the other grounds of appeal (Grounds Nos. 2 and 3), if an exchange for defendants land plaintiff has only obtained an easement (and the transfer of the portion of his wall occupied by the cupboards is not a transfer of tangible property.) then there is no question of plaintiffs transferring (apart from creating) any immovable property either tangible or intangible. The only transfer would be the transfer of defendants triangle, and the transaction is on the same footing as it would be if plaintiff had given cash instead of an easement in exchange for this land. This point, that the grant of an easement is not a transfer of ownership, is laid down in Bhagwan Sahai v. Narasingh Sahai [1909] 31 All. 612, the ruling quoted by the lower appellate Court. The Subordinate Judge may have overlooked that the other side of the bargain, the transfer of the defendants land, is a transfer of ownership; but to establish that transaction proof of delivery is sufficient because, as I showed above, its value is well below Rs. 100. 5. Ground No. 4.--And if plaintiff has transferred tangible property by the transfer of the cupboard space, then again its value is so small that proof of delivery is sufficient. Ground No. 5.--There is no such finding. The site "all along the northern side" which the Subordinate Judge finds was intended to be given is just that triangle which I have explained above and that has been given. Grounds Nos. 7 and 8 do not arise and there is no question of onus. 6. The appeal fails on all grounds and is dismissed with costs.
