Syllabus

<p>Adverse Possession (26, 31, 41) — Hostile Entry — Claim of Risht — Evidence—Sufficiency. There was no entry upon vacant real estate under a claim of right which could ripen into title by adverse possession, by one who, contemplating the acquisition of title by tax foreclosures, sought from the owner and her agent permission to enter upon and occupy the premises, and receiving no reply, moved in and made improvements, later acquiring tax certificates and filing a complaint in foreclosure in which it was alleged that the true owner was “the owner” of the premises and had abandoned the same.</p> <p>Abandonment — Real Property- — Effect of Title. Perfect legal title to real property is not lost by abandonment.</p>
