Syllabus

<p>In an action of ejectment where the plaintiff relied upon prior possession, his proof showed that several years before defendant’s entry he inclosed the premises with a fence, and afterwards, and until the adverse entry, cultivated the inclosure by raising and gathering crops thereon; but there was no direct proof of the character of the fence or its efficiency: Held, that the possession was sufficiently proved; that the use of the property for a series of years, for purposes requiring an inclosure, was enough to show that the inclosure was a suitable one for those purposes, and sufficiently substantial to protect the premises.</p>
