Syllabus

<p>ADVERSE POSSESSION-WHAT CONSTITUTES.</p> <p>The inolosure of the lands of another within a fence built by the adjoining owner, under the mistaken impression that such fence constituted the boundary line, and the occupancy, cultivation, and improvement of such inclosed lands, for a period beyond the statute of limitations, by planting an orchard, digging a well, and placing a barn and outbuildings thereon, are sufficient to constitute title thereto by adverse possession, when such possession has been open, notorious, exclusive, continuous, and under claim of ownership.</p>
