Supreme Court of North Carolina December 5, 1842 (Den on Demise of Norcom v. Leary)

Caston, J.

In our opinion, this is a very plain case against the appellant, in all cases the effect of long and notorious possession, as affording presumptive evidence of right, is very powerful. In questions of boundary especially, it authorises the inference of any fact which can rationally be inferred to make such possession consistent with right.
