Head Matter:
St. William’s Church, Raquette Lake, New York, Respondent, v. People of the State of New York, Appellant.
Argued May 29, 1946;
decided February 27, 1947.

J. Theodore Cross and Francis C. Steates for respondent.

Opinion:
Judgments reversed and complaint dismissed, with costs in all courts, on the ground that there is no evidence of occupation or constructive possession of the particular lots in suit for such a time or in such a manner as to establish title by adverse possession in any person or persons from whom the plaintiff claims to have derived its title. We decide no other question. [See 296 N. Y. 1000.]
