This was an action by Robinson against Hadley, to recover the possession of a certain piece of land. Trial by jury; verdict and judgment for the defendant.
The plaintiff appeals to this Court, and assigns for'error that—

The last error raises the question whether the verdict is sustained by the evidence. Iiaving looked through the evidence carefully, we find no cause to disturb the verdict and judgment.
The judgment is affirmed with costs.
