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.)

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.)
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.
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.)
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." In particular proceedings. To impeach verdict, see "Trial," § 11.
AFTER-ACQUIRED TITLE.
Estoppel to assert, see "Estoppel," § 2.
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.
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.
Suspension of power of alienation of property,
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.

sion of a disputed strip held not devested by Of work in drainage proceedings, see "Drains," subsequent surveys made by agreement with

§ 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.-
