1Opinion of the CourtPowers, C. J.
The court house at Manchester was built in 1822, on land owned by that town. From then until 1842, the county of Bennington was in exclusive possession thereof, so far as these defendants were concerned, except that in 1835 the town held a town meeting therein, having adjourned from *557the old court house, where such meetings were usually held. During all this time, the county used the structure as a court house and county building, holding therein one term of the county court each year. No conveyance of the land in which the original building stands is to be found.
