Opinion of the Court
1. The verdict was sustained by the testimony. The defendant in error, having gone into possession of the land in dispute under a deed, enclosed it by a fence, and held the undisturbed possession of it for more than twenty years, had a complete prescriptive title and, therefore, the right to resist the trespass of the employees of the railroad company upon the land thus held and occupied.
2. A defendant may amend an answer by withdrawing an admission therein
Judgment affirmed.
