Buckhorn Land & Timber Co. v. Yarborough

Opinion of the Court

Pee Curiam.

This case was before the Court at Spring Term, 1920, and reported in 179 N. C., 335. The same questions there presented and discussed are raised again on this appeal. "We deem it unnecessary to reiterate what was said on the former hearing.

Upon trial in the Superior Court, the case was made to turn on the character of E. Jane Yarborough’s possession of the locus in quo. Plaintiff contended that she occupied and held the lands as a tenant of plaintiff’s predecessor in title. This was denied by the defendant, and upon issue joined there was a verdict adverse to the plaintiff’s contention.

The ease also involved a question of estoppel and a plea of the statute of limitations; but, after a careful examination of the record and plaintiff’s exceptions, we think the verdict and judgment should stand.

No error.
