““Thus, in the case of an interlock, if the owner of the elder title be in the actual possession of a part of the land covered by his patent, but outside of the interlock, and the holder of the junior patent be in possession of a part of the land covered by his patent, but outside of the interlock, the actual possession of the holder of the better title is deemed to extend to, and cover, every part of the interlock.””
