The plaintiff is a senior
sister of the defendant who had lived outside the jurisdiction, and who
according to the pleadings invested in the late father’s cattle business. Upon
the father’s demise, the younger brother had taken over the control of the
family cattle business and the plaintiff is claiming 147 of the cattle and one
other&nbsp; property she believes had been
acquired on her behalf with money she had sent to her father and the brother.
Dissatisfied with attempts at settlement of the impasse between the plaintiff
and the junior brother by the family, the plaintiff filed this action against
the brother for the following reliefs;<o:p></o:p>
