Syllabus

<p>1. The existence of the relation of co-tenancy does not preclude one co-tenant from establishing an adverse possession in fact as against the other co-tenants.</p> <p>2. A grantee, under a deed purporting to convey the entire interest from one who in fact holds only an undivided interest, may acquire title by adverse possession as against the other co-tenants.</p> <p>3. When the statute begins to run against the ancestor in his life-time, it continues to run against his minor heirs after his death.</p> <p>4. Where legal rights in lands are barred by the statute of limitations and no grounds for equitable relief appears, partition will not be decreed.</p>
