Summary
In Price v. Brown (101 N.Y. 669, 671) the court said: "A person cannot acquire title to an uninclosed, unoccupied, unimproved parcel of land by taking a deed thereof from one not the owner, and then merely going upon the land and there asserting his ownership; nor can he acquire the title by taking such a deed and then making an occasional foray upon the land for grass or sand, and thus committing trespass against the real owner. (Miller v. L.I.R.R. Co., 71 N.Y. 380.)
