Wells v. Howell
19 Johns. 385 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1822
Every unwarrantable entry on another’s land, is a trespass, whether the land he enclosed or not. (3 Bl. Com. 209. 3 Selwyn’s N. P. 1101.) A person is equally answerable for the trespass of his cattle, as of himself. (3 Bl. Com. 211.) The defendant below was bound to show a right to permit his cattle to go at large ; and it is conceded, that there was no town regulation on the subject. The judgment must be affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
