Mr. CONST opened the pleadings, by stating, that this was a Writ of Right broUght by Henry Hoare, Charles Henry Meyrick, and Peter Richard Hoare ? Demandauts, against Peter Baron Gwydir i Tenant, to recover possession ofa-piece ofland at 4ecking.; ham, lathe County of Kent, as their right and in.• heritance,,and of which Ann Ackland was. seised in her deinesne as of fee within sixty years. The Tenant, Peter Baron Gwydir, had denied the right of. the Demandants, and the seisin of Ann Ackland, and pleaded . that, he had a better right to the piece of land than tho Demandants, and of this he had put himself upon the Jury of Gavelkind, in lieu of the Grand Assize, had_prayed recognition of the ri g ht, and tendered '6s. sd. for 'the use of the King, that it might be inquired of the time! when, &c. and whether the said Ackland was seised with. .in sixty years. • - - - Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD, Counsel for the De mandants—ln consequence of the mode in which the pleadings are stated upop the record,. it becomes necessary I should first address, you. If they had been put in anothei shape, it would have been the 'duty of ray .Learneel, Friend to have begun, but as the Defendant ha.; denied the seisin in the , late King's reign, and tendered the demi-mark, it throws the. burthen' upon me to state the title of the Demand-. ,ants. The property in question is not of great value to. theDernandants, otherwise than as it ad joins an estate purchased by their ancestors. The spot, for which the parties are contending, is a field containing three acres, 'two roods, and twenty perches, and was formerly an orchard in the pos_ session of the Burrell family, - and was sold to Lady Ackland. 'the .present Deinandants , are the suns of the daughter and heiress of that La.ly Ackland. The Burrell family, in toe year 1758, entered into a treaty for the sale 'of certain premises, With this piece of land, to Lady Ackland.. I shall read the description of the premises, and unless there has been some conveyance since, it is impos sible there can .be a question on the subjed. The deed is between Peter Burrell, Esq. and Dame Ann Ackland, and states, that for Sool. the grantor con veys all that capital messuage, or manor house, at Beckingham, with the garden and orchard, contain ieg 6 acres, 1 rood, and zz poles, - including the ground'on each side of the house,"eiccept.and always reserved the channel of the river. The whole of the ground is described' to contain 6 acres,- xz roods, and zz poles ; now the piece of land in question:ex at'lly makes up that quantity, and.withora including h impossible to makeitcorresPond with the description in the deed. After the convey:ince to ' Mrs. A'ckland in 1758; she occupied this orchard by putting her horses in, and mowing it till 1768. How 13urrell',afterwards had the" use of it I cannot say, but as ' this Lady was a relation of the family, I can only account for. it by supposing, that as she laid down her carriage about than time, and had no further use for the orchard to put her horses in, ,she \consented to. : let 'Mr. Burrell occupy it ; perhaps it may appear singular that so long a period . shotildhaveelapsed without any at tempt to recover it ; but this is easily explained, for Mrs. Ackland died in 1771, and her, son became a luna tic, and continued so till 1798, when he died upon his death 'it descended to Mrs. Hoare, her daughter,' who died, leaving it to the Demand . ants. They applied to Lord' Gwydir ; Who said he knew nothing about it. If I make out this case, unless my Learned Friend can shew a conveyance subsequent to that in 1758, I shall be entitled to your - verdia. • The following . fa,as were admitted i—The cow veyance from - peter Burrell to 'Lady Ackland iii 58... Her 4eath in 1771, leaving two children, Hugh and Frances. The death of Hugh in 1798, and that the Demandants were the sons or Frances. Th description.. of the premises was read froM the feed in the 'terms above stated.' John Fiddes said, he had lived servant with Lady Ackland ; he , vent to'her service in the year 1749. She lived ai that time in .the manor-house at Beck. ingbam ; she occupied the orchard as long as he lived with her ; he left her, F and returned again in 1/54 ; after which he reinained fourteen years in her service ; _all that time she occupied the field.— f-fe remembered a little gate that led from the gar_ den. There was a walnut -tree, the fruit of which she always took. On hid cross-examination, he said, he did not live with Lady. Ackland when she gave upthe possession to ',Mr. Burrell, but he re membered the circumstance of the fence, being grub bed up, and the field laid into his land this was as much as ten years 'before she died. John Green said, he. knew 'Lady Ackland, and 'remembered the orchard very well ; he had been frequently employed to 'mow it for Madam Ackland, about forty years ago. She had just laid down her carriage at that time. Her horses used to feed in the field before she laid down Tier carriage. Mr— John. Newton, a surveyor, said, he'had mea sured the plot of ground . on. which the manor-house stood ; the quantity of land, including the geld in question, was 6 aeres,, t rookand zz poles. This was all the evidence for the Demandants. Mr. GAR ROW.-.--Lei those who are in possesiion of landed property loOk to themselves 4 if my Learned. 4 We finct-this custom expressed in the following terns: Estre ceo it clevnient per especial' let le Roy Henrie ' - pere la Roy Edouard que ore (que Dieu garde) que de Ttne mentz .qtie sont tem::: en Gavylekende ne seat prise tat_ faille ne.graund Assize: per 12 Chevalier's si come ailloars est prise ell le reaurne c:es est a savoir la ou Tenant e la le marillant tenant per Gavylekende mes en lu de ces grannies Assizes beient prises Jurours per it homes Tenantz en Gavvlekende ; Issi que quatre Tenantz de Gavylekerde 12,.Tenautz ck CaVy leketxte Jurours. t "1:1:4 under at the demi-mark, Jialf the ralue ef R maiti4c Friend can close suet: a case its this,. and claim 'you'r verdid it favont of his client. People in general imagine, that when they have been twe;'itY,.thirty, or forty years in possession 411 their Estates, they have obtained an incontrovertible right to them,. bUt the dodtine contended for . to-day will set all :their ideas of a good.title afloat, for I desire you io answer me whether the Demandants have made odr any other case - oaan this, - that in -a conveyance so long ago as the , year 1758, .6 acres; t rood; ancrzz. poles, were conveyed 'to theirlorcestors, and that measuring what they have in their possession, and taking a pteee, of land from this place', and apiece of land froM that, it makes- up the quantity de seribed. the Deed ? My Learned Friend has at tempted to' make some apology to you for the length of time that has elapsed without enforcing the pre-' sent claim, by inforniimg yod of the..lunacy of young Mr. Ackland ; but he has • not. attempted 'to make any apology for what is more ithpori ant, thq length of time that elapsed after Lady Ackland , 's - purchase of Lord Gwydir's ancestor; Without her occupying, it, how she came-into. possession of 'it, or %Oen it' was taken from her - by Mr.- Burrell. It wily be my duty...to prove, these fads to 'you. I will skew you that the right and possession of Lady Ackland both expired together.. Her lin:- band had it under a lease from Lord Bolingbroke, and•after his death she -held it under-another lease., which expired in 1761 ; the date of the 'conveyance from Mr. Burrell, is 17$8, -and although this piece of land was not •included in the conveyanec, she continued in possession of it so long as the lease from Lord Bolingbroke had currency. Mc. Burrell had exchanged other :lands for the estate he sold Lady Ackland, and I shall prove that in 1761, not - only the ferke which separated the garden from the orchard was grubbed, but in order more distindly to mark, ,that Lady Ackland had no "right to the latter, the little gate leading'to it was shut up.' - I . shall call to you the Witnesses who Were employed to grub up the fenee ; if Mr.: Burrell had Glen possession of it in 176 r, as tenant to Lady Ackland, it is not reasonable to suppose she would have suffered the fence . to have been grubbed. There. is a remarkable circumstance which it is necessary I should mention 'to you : the' boys used to get into this orchard to steal the. frnit 1. and while Mrs., Ackland held it, they 'were continually kept 'in alarm by her Gardener, ,so 'much so,, that one of them broke his arm in destendirig from a, tree at his approach ; but when it was publicly known, it no longer continued to be her property, they conti nued their depredations without \regarding the threats of ,her gardener,.observing, the fad was, that it was Mr. Burrell's orchard, and that he had nothing to do with' it. There was anOther thing ; the Poor rares'were increased upon Mr. Burrell, so as to ,make him Chargeable for this tl rchard. You wilh obServe I am not here to make out a case by my own strength, but to defend my •title by a pOs, session of forty years . and. upwards ; and ii'nless I 'mistake for I never before was present at thetiial of a writ of right'), the rule I conceive to be 'this . : that unless a'Demandant proves a clear and incontro vertible title, he is not entitled to disturb theposses sion of a tenant after the lapse ofsuch a period. This- Lady continued in possesston of the mansion -house and garden from 1758 to 1771 ; she Was a person regular in preserVing the accounts of -her domestic concerns. Is it likely, if Mr. Burrell had been her tenant, she'Would not have been anxious .to have kept an account of the receipts of tire rent? But, has the least evidence to that effeCi been laid before you ? You will therefore consider the case,: and the tenant's length of possesion, and ads of owner ship,' and you will then be, able to say, Whether, be cause' a conveyance aboVe, forty year's ago described.' premises to consist of six acres, i(is enough for a person to tell you he has somehow or otherlost three acres, -and that he desires you to , find it for him out' of the adjoining land of his neighbour. It appears to me that' your. supporting such a claim would extremely endanger the landed- property' of Phis kingdoM—the security 'of' all landed property' renders it necessary you should be abundantly eau -tious. I contend that the .case, oil the part of the Demandants, even if not answered at all,, would not justify your verdid in their favour, but that,, with the evidence I shall lay before you, you are bound to find for Lord Gwydir. • The first evidence was a lease, dated 29th' Sept. 5,747, ftom Lord Bolingbroke to .Lady Ackland's husband, of the manor-house and premises for seven years; and after that period, if the ,parties should thinkfit, for seven years furthet term. John Matthews 'said, lie recolleaed the field in the occupation of Lady. Ackland in i76o'; he re membered the circumstance of a boy having -his limb broke by a fall from one,of the trees. In 1761 the hedge was grubbed up by order of, Mr. Burrell, 'and the gate he believed was taken away. joh i n Pearce said,,he went to live with Mr. Bur rell in 1762 ; he was in possession of the orchard at that time, and 'had been ever since; he never saw any fence. Edward Brown had known the•place forty years, lie never saw any fence, it was always in the same state as at present; • he never saw it in the occupa tion of any one but Mr. Burrell. When a boy, he used, to go with. other boys to the orchard to get walnuts—if Mrs. Ackland's Gardener said Inv thing, they told him the orchard was not Madam ACkland's, but Mr, Burrell's—the Witness' added, that Lady Ackland was very minute in recording her transaaions.; he also proved that Mr. Burrell Was charged to the Pool-rates for this field.. - Mrs. Elizabeth jefferies stated, that when Lady Ackland purchased the Manor-house, with the pre-, anises, she ordered her to haysit cleaned, and ex pressed her satisfafflon, observing, that before she had not a foot of land in the county. Mr, Serjeant &MgEltl) in reply said, it . seemed to hitn that part of the Terx;nt's case niade the Demandants' stronger .than it was before. Lord Bolingbroke, who was the owner of the manor_ house and premises' exchanged ;them with' Mr. Burrell for other lands, and. Mr. - Burrell after-, wards sold to Mrs. Ackland that which Lord Bolingbroke hail . ,sold to him, and unless the tenant could shew, _that the orchard was expressly excluded by the deed of conveyance, it was impossi- W 4 be say it 41 not pass; for i; made up the ad iiiMSur&ricnt, and had all the marks-, ityfiCatineg it. was part ( - 5 f t e• premises:* His :Learned Friend had sand, that after so *long a possession; every thin6n-,6 rhr to - be presumed against the- Dema n d:: antS' i but tOr'the•'tircuinstans'e Of ,the Tei'lant's hay.. ing tendel-cd the demi:mark in, the late King's reign, it would ha've been incumbent: on hii - Q •t - ci have proved 'his> title.

With regard to the Question, immediately , 'before us, that the,prOperty, conveyed by Mr. Bur. 'tell to Lady Ackland no man can no*, for it . is described in, the Deed itself, with all the comprehen, sive Words thecwlsdom and' ingenuity of a 'Convey. • ancer,could adopt . ; and' when we ask. who occupied. it, the answer is, that it, was occupied sy Lady Ackland, for she took the hay which grew`-upon .the field, and turned., the ihores into it. 'You are further told; there was a gate leaditte; out of the garden into the orchiod, but that is a trifling eir.. cumstanee ; the main thing is, the adtial Occupation acid the description in the Deed. , It vvas . clearly the' property of Lady Ackland at the time 'the Deed was executed, and if a contest had arisen then, there could not' have been the , least doubt. - This reduces the case to that . which constitutes the single quese tion, namely, - whefhei you find room to lifer that she afterwards conveyed it to Mr. Burr al ? In gee neral, I would advise such an inference after long possession ; bu; I itould not advise it where it would `• manifestly avoid the justice of the case: I'do not see how you can do spin the present instance:- With regard to the partie'S, they are honourable persons on both sides; it is not:•possible to, impeach their dia.. . • raaers—each of them arc honestly and fairly . conk tendingfOr 4,Vhat they think their right ;. they have impleaded each Other, and' your verdict must de. chle the contention.

The fair inference seems 'to be' this i . that Lady Ackland occupied the Fiehl while she kept :her carriage and horses, but ceasing to do so, she , accommodated her nephews Mr! Burrell ; by letting him have the Use of. it: Not many 'years after, a. fatal accident happened in her family; her son ,be. came a lunatic, 'which prevented a claiM being made upon the tenant. 4 atn inclined tei• think. that •ark, ejeament might - have been brought without. all - the splendid, display, of,. a tfial in ,this form.-- , ' I had the honour of • being•known-to Mr: Burrell ; he was a man not likely to,have, received any benefit from his relation to the' prejudice of her family, ,es pecially Wheo that family was visited by affli!Etion‘ However„ I can .only, repeat ; you must presume a conveyance of which there is not the least evidence, before you can give your.verdi6t for the tenant.-- As .to his paying the,'Poor , rates; it is a• circum-, Stance which carries no weight ;• he .w.% bound to do . so, and if he had paid the Land -tax, it would not have carried the presumption ii, his favour further. e 1 think if a person is allowed to occupy-a piece of land for nothing, the least he can do is to pay the taxes.. ..
