Quaratielli v. Sileo, 188 App. Div. 998 , affirmed.

Appeal from a judgment, entered July 11, 1919, upon an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the fourth judicial department, reversing a judgment

in favor of plaintiffs, entered upon a decision of the court on trial at Special Term and directing a dismissal of the complaint. The action was in ejectment to recover possession of a strip of land from three and one-quarter to eleven inches wide and alleged to be a portion of premises conveyed to plaintiffs. The Appellate Division held that title to the disputed land passed to the defendant’s predecessors by a continuous, open, adverse possession for upwards of twenty years.
