Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. Where a co-owner has continuously enjoyed, as owner-, the separate and uninterrupted possession' of the property for' more than thirty years, he acquires full ownership by pre-, scription against his co-owners and can, upon this ground, successfully oppose their suit for a partition.</p> <p>2. The testimony of a party in his own favor to establish a stale claim against a person since dead is of the weakest character and should be receivel with the greatest caution. And when it consists merely of an alleged declaration by the decedent, a vague and indefinite acknowledgment wholly uncorroborated, it should be disregarded.</p>
