Syllabus

<p>Appeal — Review—Findings op Fact — Necessity. Findings of fact are not essential to support a decree in an equity case.</p> <p>Same — Preservation op Grounds. Error cannot he predicated upon failure to make findings and conclusions where no request therefor was made or objections interposed.</p> <p>Adverse Possession — Incorrect Deed — Color of Title and Claim of Right. A deed incorrectly describing a tract constitutes color of title, and the grantees acquire title by adverse possession under claim of right, where they took possession of the land intended to be conveyed, and adversely held for fourteen years under the belief that they were in actual possession of property conveyed by the deed.</p> <p>Estoppel — Adverse Possession — Accepting Repayment of Tax. One claiming title to land by adverse possession, who by mistake paid a tax on adjoining land of the adverse claimant, is not estopped from asserting claim to the land in his possession by accepting repayment of the tax on the adjoining land.</p>
