Co-plaintiffs, having shown a joint title, are not required to disclose the details of the arrangement under which they hold as between themselves.</p> <p>3. The declarations of one in possession of lands are admissible to prove how he holds, whether as tenant or proprietor, but not to establish a parol lease or to prove its terms.</p>
