Syllabus

<p>Statute of limitations — Possession of personal property — Railroads.</p> <p>Where the purchaser of the property oí a railroad company sold under foreclosure proceedings has had possession for eight years of a locomotive claimed as a part of the property sold, the statute of limitations will protect such possession against a person claiming that the locomotive had been merely leased to the mortgagor, and was not covered by the mortgage under which the foreclosure proceedings were instituted. In such a case equity follows the law in applying the statute.</p>
