¶1delivered the opinion of the court.
¶2We are of opinion that twenty continuous years adverse possessions of lend, confers upon the possessor an absolute title, against all persons *342unexcepted by the terms of our statutes. The instructions given by the circuit court were therefore correct, as was also its declension to give those asked by the defendant, and its. judgment is consequently affirmed.
¶3I give no opinion in this case. J. F. Hyland.
