Opinion
May, 1795.
Vandyke [for plaintiff]. Bayard [for defendant].
Bayard. March 18, 1785, deed from Penns to Jonathan Dawes. July 12, 1785, deed from Jonathan Dawes and wife to Job Harvey. [2] Del. Laws [1160], June 9, 1793, Land Office law.
John S. Littler offered. I run the lands for McClintock in 1792 by virtue of a warrant from the proprietary agent. On the western side I found marked trees next to McClintock's contained twenty or thirty acres. William Elliott [to the] east; Nick Way to the west. I did not know John McClintock had any title until I saw the deed this morning.
Verdict for plaintiff. 6d costs etc.
Trespass. Non culpa and liberum tenementum.
