Syllabus

<p>Statute of Limitations as to Separate Property of Married Woman.—As a married woman, under section seven of the Practice Act, may maintain ejectment for her separate property without joining her husband, her coverture does not create a disability so as to save the bar of the Statute of Limitations as to such property—the amendment of April 18th, 1863 (Stats. 1863, p. 325), having changed the rule of the statute of 1850 on this subject.</p> <p>Adverse Possession of Separate Property of Married Woman.— Adverse possession for five years of the separate property of a married woman creates a bar under the Limitation Act of April 18th, 1863 (Stats. 1863, p. 325), and is a good defense to an action of ejectment by her or her grantee.</p>
