69 Ark. 263; 62 S.W. 904; 1901 Ark. LEXIS 54

Watkins v. Arnold

Opinion of the Court

Bunn, C. J.

The decree in this case will be affirmed in effect, but modified so that the bill will be dismissed for want of equity, instead of decreeing title in fee in the appellee, Jane Gray, generally. She still holds under the same title, no greater, no less, than when the suit was instituted, although, as between herself and the appellant, the latter must fail on her claim of title by adverse possession.

With this modification, the decree is affirmed.
