1. Nature and requisites.

One claiming land under Limitation Law, 8
7 (2 Starr & C. Ann. St. [2d Ed.] p. 2618, c.
83), held required to pay the taxes thereon for
seven years after the acquisition of his color
of title.-White v. Harris (Ill.) 519.

The employment of an agent and the agent's
acts held not to constitute possession under
Limitation Law, 87 (2 Starr & C. Ann. St.
[2a Ed.] p. 2618, c. 83).-White v. Harris (Ill.)

519.

A survey of vacant land held not to consti-
tute possession under Limitation Law, § 7 (2
Starr & C. Ann. St. [2d Ed.] p. 2618, c. 83).
-White v. Harris (Ill.) 519.

A person claiming land under Limitation
Law, 8 7 (2 Starr & C. Ann. St. [2d Ed.] p.
2618, c. 83), held required to prove that he had
color of title thereto, that he paid taxes there-
on for seven successive years, and that he
then took possession.-White v. Harris (Ill.)

519.

One claiming land under Limitation Law, §
6 (Laws 1839, p. 266), or under section 7, held
required to show a complete performance under
either one.-White v. Harris (Ill.) 519.

Where title by adverse possession is claimed
to have been secured through plaintiff's posses-
sion and that of her two immediate predeces-
sors in title, plaintiff cannot tack her posses-
sion to that of her predecessors in title, un-
less the conveyances to plaintiff and to plain-
tiff's grantor are by deed.-Illinois Cent. R. Co.
v. Hatter (Ill.) 751.

adjoining owner to ascertain true division line.
-Logsdon v. Dingg (Ind. App.) 409.

§ 3.

Pleading, evidence, trial, and re-
view.

An instruction as to what acts constitute pos-
session of vacant land under Limitation Law,
§ 7 (2 Starr & C. Ann. St. [2d Ed.] p. 2618,
c. 83), held misleading.-White v. Harris (Ill.)
519.

The question whether the erection of a build-
ing on vacant land constituted possession under
Limitation Law. § 7 (2 Starr & C. Ann. St.
[2d Ed.] p. 2618, c. 83), held for the jury.—
White v. Harris (Ill.) 519.

Evidence in action of trespass quare clausum
fregit, where plaintiff claimed title by adverse
possession, considered, and held insufficient to
sustain verdict for plaintiff.-Illinois Cent. R.
Co. v. Hatter (Ill.) 751.

Whether possession of land is hostile or ad-
verse is not a conclusion of law, but an ulti-
mate fact.-Logsdon v. Dingg (Ind. App.)

409.

A finding that an adverse claimant did not
claim ownership of any portion of the ad-
joining land beyond the true division line must
be considered in connection with his further
claim that a fence constructed by him and the
owner of such adjoining land was on the true
line.-Logsdon v. Dingg (Ind. App.) 409.

See "Arrest," § 1; "Continuance."

To impeach verdict, see "Trial," § 11.

AFTER-ACQUIRED TITLE.

Estoppel to assert, see "Estoppel," § 2.

AGENCY.

Though actual possession by the grantor's
tenant of land conveyed does not deprive the
grantor of the power to deliver possession to
the grantee, it is a circumstance which may See "Principal and Agent."
be considered by the jury in determining wheth-
er possession was delivered.-Illinois Cent. R.

Co. v. Hatter (Ill.) 751.

AGREEMENT.

A tenancy of certain land, not shown to have See "Contracts."
included a strip in controversy by description
or otherwise, held not to deprive the tenant
of his right to acquire adverse possession of
such strip.-Rabbermann v. Carroll (Ill.) 759.

AGRICULTURE.

Property in crops, see "Crops."

AIDER BY VERDICT.

As a general rule limitations do not run
against a municipal corporation in respect to
streets and property held for public use, and
adverse possession of such property, however
long continued, is of no effect.-Owen v. Vil- In civil actions, see "Pleading," § 8.
lage of Brookport (Ill.) 952.

Possession of a disputed strip, bounded by a
fence claimed by the occupant to be the true
division line, held adverse to title of adjoining
owner. Logsdon v. Dingg (Ind. App.) 409.

Where one holds a disputed strip of land
provisionally, or, if holding, he disclaims owner-
ship, except to the true line, wherever that may
be, his possession is not adverse.-Logsdon v.
Dingg (Ind. App.) 409.

ALIENATION.

Suspension of power of alienation of property,

see "Perpetuities."

ALIENS.

1. Naturalization.

Under Rev. St. U. S. § 2172 [U. S. Comp.
St. 1901, p. 1334], the naturalization of the
father of a foreign-born minor held to change
the status of the child.-Rexroth v. Schein (Ill.)
240.

Where adverse possession is claimed, the
fact that such possession originated in a mis-
take of the parties as to the boundary line
between their respective adjoining tracts, at
the time a fence on such line was built, does
not prevent the running of the statute.-Logs See "Divorce," § 1.
don v. Dingg (Ind. App.) 409.

In an action for rent, certain alterations and
interlineations in a lease introduced in evidence
by plaintiff held material, so as to have render-

1. Nature and form of remedy.
Under Burns' Rev. St. 1901, § 343, an appeal
from a cause of action docketed separately
from other causes set forth in the same com-
plaint is properly taken from the judgment only
of such separately docketed cause.-Giller v.
West (Ind. Sup.) 548.

§ 2. Decisions reviewable.

Where an order sustaining all objections to an
application for judgment for special assess
ments, unappealed from, was subsequently
modified, so that it no longer showed that "all"
the objections were sustained, the order of
modification was not reviewable on error.-

Under Rev. St. 1892, § 5226, an action for

Where, on error, the court of common pleas
reverses the judgment of the probate court,
it is a final disposition of the judgment of the
court of common pleas, but is not a final judg
ment, which may be reviewed on error.-State
v. Judges of Court of Common Pleas of Hamil-
ton County (Ohio) 659.

3. Right of review.
