Opinion

Ye axes, J.

I am constrained to overrule the testimony. Improvements made on lands in dispute, after an adverse early descriptive warrant had issued, anda survey made thereupon which has been returned into the surveyor general’s office within io£ months afterwards, can give no pretence of equity against the distant owner, and can only serve to mislead the jury.

Verdict pro quer.
