Syllabus

<p>Railroads — Real estate — Adverse possession — Title.</p> <p>1. Title to land purchased by a railroad company for railroad purposes, adjoining its right of wa3q but not actuary occupied by its tracks, may be acquired by twenty-one years’ adverse possession; and it is immaterial that the company may have intended to lay tracks on such land, if in fact such intention was never carried into practical effect.</p> <p>2. The purchaser from a trespasser may tack the latter's adverse possession to his own so as to give title by the statute of limitations.</p>
