8 Johns. 367
Jackson ex dem. Whitman v. Douglas

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

There is not a sufficient cause for interfering with the verdict. There was no uncertainty originally, as to the true location of the lots. It is very clear that the defendant possesses beyond the true line, between great lots No. 7. and 8. and the single fact, that one of the lessors of the plaintiff, about eight years ago, showed a mistaken line as the true line, is not, of itself, sufficient to conclude him, in this case. The motion is, therefore, denied.

Motion denied.
