(Filed 20 September, 1922.)

Upon tbe trial of this action in ejectment and for damages, the charge of the court upon the principles of constructive and adverse possession are held to be without error.

Appeal by-plaintiff from Calvert, J., at November Term, 1921, of Halifax.

Ejectment, and to recover damages for an alleged trespass.

• Upon denial of tbe plaintiff’s title and claim, there was a verdict and judgment in favor of defendant. Plaintiff appealed.

Boswell C. Bridger and S. Brown Shepherd for plaintiff.

A. Paul Kitchin, Stuart Smith, and Daniel & Daniel for defendant.

Pee OueiaM.

Tbe exceptions debated before us, and wbicb are brought forward in plaintiff’s brief, deal principally with tbe charge of tbe court on tbe subject of constructive and adverse possession. After a careful perusal of tbe record, as it relates to these exceptions, we are unable to discover any error. Tbe case seems to have been tried in substantial conformity to our decisions on tbe subject, and we have found no sufficient reason for disturbing tbe result of tbe trial.

No error.
