Most-quoted passages

2 later decisions quote this exact passage““ * * * As we have already stated, plaintiffs have proved beyond any doubt that the title of Mrs.. Rhodes extends to the division line of Sections 27, 28 and 29 and Sections 52, 53 and 46. The testimony of defense witnesses, respecting evidence of the existence of an established land line farther to the sputh and east than the real division line set forth in Mrs. Rhodes’ deed, cannot benefit the defendant as he, a trespasser, is not in a position to assert that plaintiffs’ civil possession, does not extend -to the limits stated in Mrs. Rhodes’ title, which have been proven to be northwest of the fence erected by him. New Orleans Terminal Co. v. Luckner, 147 La. 967 , 86 So. 411 . Being without color of title, defendant cannot defeat the possession of the record owner who has corporeal possession of a part other than by an adverse possession by inclosures. * * * ””
