Miller v. Dow , 1 Root 412 ( 1792 )

Verdict for the defendant, generally that he had done no wrong or disseisin; which was accepted by the court, upon the principle that the manner in which he claimed, possessed and improved the uninclosed part lying connected with the inclosed part; announced to the world his ownership of it, by acts of equal notoriety as though it had been inclosed with a fence. See Smith v. Isaacs, New Haven, January Term, 1790.
