Syllabus

<p>Ejectment — Boundaries■—Deeds—Block of lots — Evidence.</p> <p>1. In an action of ejectment a verdict and judgment for plaintiff for a strip of land, four-tenths of a foot wide, will be sustained where the evidence tends to show that the plaintiff’s and defendant’s lots were adjoining lots in a block of lots in which each lot was intended to be forty feet wide, that defendant’s lot as occupied by him exceeded that measurement' by four-tenths of a foot, that plaintiff’s was deficient to that extent, and that a fence had formerly stood on the line claimed by plaintiff and had fallen down from dilapidation.</p> <p>2. In such a case where it appears that defendant’s lot was the last conveyed, it is not error to admit in evidence the conveyances of the several lots, in order to show the order of the conveyances, and the identification of particular lots.</p>
