Syllabus

<p>PARTITION — SUIT TO RE-ESTABLISH — DEFENSES —EVIDENCE—POSSESSION.</p> <p>Where, in a proceeding under Act No. 57, p. 92, of 1886, as amended by Act No. 30, p. 35, of 1900, to re-establish a partition in kind of a tract of land, the defendants assert that the owners in common each took possession of the parcel allotted to him, it cannot be successfully contended that one of the co-owners, who thereafter sold and put his vendee in possession of part of such tract, did not take possession thereof, and that the same was not partitioned, and the superstructure of the defense, based on such a proposition, must fall with the foundation.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
