Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Title and Ownership' — Boundary Lines — Adverse Possession. Where parties by mutual agreement fix boundary lines and thereafter acquiesce in the lines so agreed upon, they must be considered as the true boundary lines between them, even though the period of acquiescence falls short of the time fixed by statute for gaining title by adverse possession.</p> <p>2. -Boundary Lines Established by Parol Agreement— Statute of Frauds. The owners of adjoining tracts-of land may., by parol agreement, settle and permanently establish a boundary line between their lands, which, when followed by possession according to the line so agreed upon,'will be binding upon the parties and their grantees. Such an agreement, followed by possession, is not obnoxious to the statute of frauds.</p>
