Cunningham v. Curtis , 1876 N.H. LEXIS 73 ( 1876 )

I also think the finding of the referee was right, and that there should be judgment on the report for the defendants.

The line of Hough's land was a monument on the ground, the location of which was indicated and made certain at the time of the deed by a shed and division fence.
