possession OF a certain parcel. from which
the Dens. had taken some three tons of
hay. The Dens claimed that the parcel
was part of the Ticker Lot. - which they
owned. aud they proved that to get S20
acres for that lot the South line. the other
line being stationary. must be far
South a. to include the locus. Clark in
sisted that he did not care anything about
the $50 acres. but that the south line Of
the Ticket Lot was North offhc locHs. The
PHI. put in much testimon, To show an an-
cieut line North OF the place Of taking the
hay. The Diets. admitted the existence Of
line where rlf. claimed but urged that Il
could not be the true line, as Il. did not
give them acres enough. The jury con-
cluded that the ancient line should stand az
the true line. aud gaze the rld. verdict
