following reliefs against the defendants:<o:p></o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

o f title to all that large tract of land situate and being at Ankwa Dobro near
Nsawam in the Eastern Region and known as the property of Madam Agoe bounded on
the North by Quarcoopome’s land, on the South by Baddoo’s land on the East by a
road to Nsawam, on the West by the Anfran stream measuring 2300 feet on the
North, 3250 feet on the South, 135 feet on the East and 1150 feet on the West
respectively.<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
