Syllabus

<p>1. In an action of ejectment evidence of an equitable estoppel is admissible under the general issue.</p> <p>2. Evidence tending to prove an equitable estoppel against the plaintiff in ejectment or tending to prove an equitable title in defendant’s grantor claiming under the plaintiff, should not be excluded upon the ground that such evidence is immaterial and irrelevant, although such evidence may not be sufficient of itself for such purpose.</p> <p>3. Mere lapse of time during which plaintiff in ejectment fails to assert title to land owned by him does not of itself work an estoppel against him.</p>
