Syllabus

<p>1. Tenant in common—Trespasser—It is well settled that a tenant in common may recover the entire land belonging to himself and his co-tenants from a mere trespasser. (Lowers v. Peterson, 59 Tex., 216, etc.)</p> <p>2. Patents—Records of land office—Evidence—The records of patents in the general land office stand in the same position, and have equal dignity and the same effect, as the original patents delivered to the grantees. (McGarrahan v. Mining Co., 96 U. S., 319.) A certified copy of a patent from those records is primary evidence of its issuance. (Authorities reviewed.)</p>
