Syllabus

<p>1. Adverse Possession. — A person who lias been in adverse possession of land for the statutory period has a good and valid title by virtue of such adverse possession, which may be affirmatively asserted against one not protected by some disability.</p> <p>2. Ibid. — State—Limitations oe Actions. — Adverse possession of land for twenty years will bar an action by the State.</p> <p>3. Ibid. — Nonsuit.—The payment of taxes on land for a number of years, and it not appearing that the State sets up any claim to the land, is sufficient testimony to submit to the jury the question that the State has parted with her title, and a nonsuit was properly refused.</p>
