If the jury, in this civil suit, are bound to hold the law obligatory, they render a judgment in favor of B, that he be put in possession of the property; thereby declaring that A is bound to submit to a law depriving him of his property.
Spooner describes a scenario where a jury's judgment enforces an unjust law, impacting property rights.

Any restriction upon the exercise of this right is a restriction upon his rightful power of providing for, and accomplishing, his own well-being.

And nobody is bound to take the least notice of them, unless it be to trample them under foot, as usurpations.
The presumption clearly is that all were eligible.
