</div>We
have read the record of appeal and the submissions made by counsel in the
matter herein and have come to the view that having regard to the 1927 decision
entitled Chief Kofi Tumtuo v Chief Kwame Agyei determined on the 19-5-27 before
the Native Tribunal of the Kumasehene tendered in evidence as Exhibit A at page
105 of the record of appeal, which determined the boundary between the parties
herein as indeed, the two lower courts found in their respective judgments, and
in order to have the said boundary effectively settled for the purpose of
avoiding any future litigation in respect of same, we hereby proceed to set aside
the decision of the Court of Appeal in the matter herein and in place thereof
remitting the action herein to the High Court, Kumasi, for a trial de novo and
in particular direct that an order of survey be ordered in respect of the
disputed property with the area previously determined in the 1927 action being
superimposed on the said plan for the purpose of determining whether or not the
Defendants have actually trespassed the boundaries determined in the 1927
action.<o:p></o:p>The
appeal for the reasons above, is allowed; we make no order as to costs<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;(SGD) J. ANSAH
