Baton v. Potvin

In essence this action involves a
boundary dispute between the parties. It was
instituted by the plaintiff as administratrix of
[141 Conn. 199]
the estate of Rosanna Maigrey, late of the town
of Voluntown, county of New London. The plaintiff
alleged that she was in possession of certain
premises, that she erected a fence upon the premises
and that the defendant destroyed the fence. She
sought money damages for the trespass and the
destruction of personal property. Before the case
came on for trial, the court permitted an amendment
which set forth that the plaintiff was executrix of
the estate of Rosanna Maigrey and was the devisee of
the premises described in the complaint. The court
found that the fence had been erected on the
boundary line between the parties, entered
judgment accordingly, and assessed nominal damages
for the trespass.
