New York Court of Appeals

Eliakim Reed, Respondent v. Bushrod W. Farr, Appellant

March 5, 186635 N.Y. 113

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff, holding that a practical location of a boundary line and more than twenty years of acquiescence by the parties is conclusive of the boundary, and that a later mortgage and foreclosure deed are subordinate to that earlier practical location.
