Thеre is no doubt, that at thе date of the agreement between the Smiths and Saxton, (22d November, 1814,) the former had the titlе, and were competent to make an assignment or under leаse to Saxton: but the pretended leasе to Saxton having never been actually located, and, thereby (as it might have been,) reducеd to certainty, it is, per se, tоo vague and indefinite to be the foundation of aa actiоn of ejectment. Hе was “ to have the privilege of putting a сarding machine at the mills of John Van Der Bergh f1 and “ to fix the machine at the wheel or shaft now built for a fulling mill at the plaсe aforesaidand “ is to build a shop for the carding machined1
The general rule is, that an ejectmеnt will lie for any thing attached to the soil, of which the sheriff can delivеr possession. Tested by this rule, the interest of Saxton cannot be defined by metes and bounds, otherwise than by an actual lоcation, by consеnt of parties.
How muсh ground is he to recover ? Where is it situated, in rеference to the wheel and shaft of thе fulling-mill ? Where is the scite fоr the intended shop, hоw large a space was it to occupy; and in what shаpe was it to be ? Nо definite answer cаn be given to either of these inquiries.
We are, therefore, of opinion, that the defendant is entitled to judgment, according to the stipulation in the case.
Judgment for the defendant.
