Supreme Court of Vermont January 15, 1834 (Meacham v. Fay)

The opinion of the court was pronounced by

Williams, C. J.

— This is an action of trespass quart clau-sum, fregit. To maintain it, the plaintiff may rely upon his possession alone. It was wholly unnecessary for him in his declaration to give a particular description of his lands by boundaries. The particular boundaries could only become of consequence if the defendant shew or claimed a title.
