Murphy vs. Guion.

~p>ER curiam,

Taylor, Judge.

The action for mesne pro- -*• fits does not accrue ’till after a recovery in ejectment, and possession obtained ; then the defendant by relation, is a trespasser against the plaintiff’s possession ah initio ; consequently, if the action be commenced within three years after that time, the act of limitations will not bar.
