P. — Trial—Evidence—Depositions.</p> <p>Where a portion only of a deposition is offered in evidence, and upon objection to the offer, the trial judge suggests that the whole deposition should be offered, and this is done, but only the portion first offered is read, and binding instructions are given for defendant, the whole of the deposition becomes a part of the record, and is before the judge for consideration in his final ruling.</p> <p>Principal and agent — Ratification—Possession—Laches—Statute of Limitations.</p> <p>Where an owner of rails is indebted to the owner of land upon which the rails had been deposited, and the owner of the land enters into an agreement with a person who assumes to be the agent of the owner of the rails and is an agent for certain purposes, by which the owner of the land takes the rails for a siding and credits the debt due him with a certain amount, which is the fair value of the property, and the owner of the rails never takes any steps to assert his title to them, an execution creditor of the owner of the rails cannot, after eight years, assert title to them.</p>
