[4] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

boundary, estates. by this term is understood in general, every separation, 
natural or artificial, which marks the confines or line of division of two 
contiguous estates. 3 toull. n. 171. 
     2. boundary also signifies stones or other materials inserted in the 
earth on the confines of two estates. 
     3. boundaries are either natural or artificial. a river or other stream 
is a natural boundary, and in that case the centre of the stream is the 
line. 20 john. r. 91; 12 john. r. 252; 1 rand. r. 417; 1 halst. r. 1; 2 n. 
h. rep. 369; 6 cowen, r. 579; 4 pick. 268; 3 randolph's r. 33 4 mason's r. 
349-397. 
     4. an artificial boundary is one made by man.
     5. the description of land, in a deed, by specific boundaries, is 
conclusive as to the quantity; and if the quantity be expressed as a part of 
the description, it will be inoperative, and it is immaterial whether the 
quantity contained within the specific boundaries, be greater or less than 
that expressed; 5 mass. 357; 1 caines' r. 493; 2 john. r. 27; 15 john. 471; 
17 john. r. 146; id. 29; 6 cranch, 237; 4 hen.  munf. 125; 2 bay, r. 515; 
and the same rule is applicable, although neither the courses and distances, 
nor the estimated contents, correspond with such specific boundaries; 6 
mass. 131; 11 mass. 193; 2 mass. 380; 5 mass. 497; but these rules do not 
apply in cases where adherence to them would be plainly absurd. 17 mass. 
207. vide 17 s.  r. 104; 2 mer. r. 507; 1 swanst. 9; 4 ves. 180; 1 stark. 
ev. 169; 1 phil. ev. index, h. t.; chit. pr. index, h. t.; 1 supp. to ves. 
jr. 276; 2 hill. ab. c. 24, sec. 209, and index, h. t. 
     6. when a boundary, fixed and by mutual consent, has been permitted to 
stand for twenty-one years, it cannot afterwards be disturbed. in accordance 
with this rule, it has been decided, that where town lots have been occupied 
up to a line fence between them, for more than twenty-one years, each party 
gained an incontrovertible right to the line thus established, and this 
whether either party knew of the adverse claim or not; and whether either 
party has more or less ground than was originally in the lot he owns. 9 
watts, r. 565. see hov. fr. c. 8, p. 239 to 243; 3 sum. r 170 poth. contr. 
de societe, prem. app. n. 231. 
     7. boundaries are frequently marked by partition fences, ditches, 
hedges, trees, c. when such a fence is built by one of the owners of the 
land, on his own premises, it belongs to him exclusively; when built by both 
at joint expense, each is the owner of that part on his own land. 5 taunt. 
20. when the boundary is a hedge and a single ditch, it is presumed to 
belong to him on whose side the hedge is, because he who dug the ditch is 
presumed to have thrown the earth upon his own land, which was alone lawful 
to do, and that the hedge was planted, as is usual, on the top of the bank 
thus raised. 3 taunt. 138. but if there is a ditch on each side of the 
hedge, or no ditch at all, the hedge is presumed to be the common property 
of both proprietors. arch. n. p. 328; 2 greenl. ev. sec. 617. a tree growing 
in the boundary line is the joint property of both owners of the land. 12 n. 
h. rep. 454. 
     8. disputes arising from a confusion of boundaries may be generally 
settled by an action at law. but courts of equity will entertain a bill for 
the settlement of boundaries, when the rights of one of the parties may be 
established upon equitable grounds. 4 bouv. inst. n. 3923.
