¶1The Court decided that the plaintiff’s part must be of equal width throughout; and that the end of his part at the river, must be so much less than one-half the width of the farm at that end as to give an equal number of acres to each party. Upon this construction, no acts of trespass appear to have been committed on the plaintiff’s half.

¶2Judgment for defendant.
