Bastow, J. P.

This action was brought to recover possession of a strip of land 100 by 345 feet which allegedly had been wrongfully appropriated by the defendant town for use as a highway. Included in the complaint is a separate cause of action — although not so denominated in the pleading — to recover damages for the exclusion of plaintiff from the realty since the year 1954.

Thus, the action is one in ejectment (Civ. Prae. Act, § 7, subd. 8) triable before a jury (Civ. Prae. Act, § 425, subd. 2) the procedure in which is to some extent prescribed by the provisions of article 63 (§§ 990-1011)…
