Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court October 23, 1875 (Wilson v. Hildreth)

Endicott, J.

The first boundary line described in the plaintiff’s deed extends from the Northfield road “ north 61° east by land of Gilson ninety-nine rods to a stake and stones.” No stake and stones are to be found on this line, or any other bound which can be said to determine the extent of the line, unless a rail fence twenty rods further north can be so regarded.
