Connecticut Superior Court · decided 1807-02-15
THIS was an action of ejectment. The general issue was pleaded, and closed to the jury. c J 1 The plaintiffs claimed title to the demanded premises, by the levy of an execution, in their favour, against Josiah Brooks. The defendant claimed a title derived from Brooks, by regular conveyances. On the 2d of December, 1803, Brooks gave a deed of the land in question to Nathaniel Tryon, which was soon afterwards recorded.
Decided 1807-02-15

¶2The jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs, widen wsc accepted.
