the verdict in Jay's hand, with marginal comments concerning his objections to its form
Jurors find adverse possession by defendant for upwards of sixty years, that the lands
in question do not fall within those granted to Bedford by the Colony of Connecticut,

The verdict appears to reject Jay's contention concerning the 1683 boundary
agreement.
