    Briscoe et al. v. Holder et al.
    
    Argued July 25, —
    Decided August 9, 1900.
    Complaint for land. Before Arthur Gray Powell, judge pro •hac vice. Miller superior court. October term, 1899.
    
      W. G. Worrill, R. H. Sheffield, and C. C. Bush, for plaintiffs.
    
      B. B. Bower, for defendants.
   Simmons, C. J.

The plaintiff showed a perfect paper title to the land in controversy, but the defendant showed a prescriptive title based on more than seven years adverse possession under written evidence of title. A verdict for the defendant was therefore demanded, and the court did not err in so directing. Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
