Syllabus
<p>1. A motion for a compulsory nonsuit being substantially the same as a demurrer to evidence, it is the duty of the court to assume the truth of the plaintiff’s evidence and to deduce therefrom every reasonable inference of fact in his favor.</p> <p>2. In an ejectment it is not always necessary for a plaintiff first to show title out of the commonwealth. If the plaintiff claim as devisee, it is sufficient in the first instance to prove the will and seizin of the devisor, and the latter may be proved by showing that the devisor was actually in possession or was receiving the rents as landlord at the time of his death.</p>
