RULE 805. DAMAGES

Where it is alleged and proved that one of the parties is in possession of the premises, the court or

jury, if they find for the adverse party, shall assess the damages for the use and occupation of the

premises. If special injury to the property be alleged and proved, the damages for such injury shall

also be assessed, and the proper judgment shall be entered therefor, on which execution may issue.
