ADVERSE POSSESSION — Statement insufficient to show that a possession
was adverse.] 1. A statement in an agreed case that the grantee in a certain
deed "has been in possession of such property from March 11, 1875, up to
the time of his death, September 20, 1897, and that his heirs, who are also
his devisees, have been in actual possession since that time, his wife having
died previously," is not sufficient to establish title to the property by adverse
possession as it does not declare the possession to have been either hostile
or undisturbed. KELLY. KELLY....

2. A right to erect a dam may be acquired by prescription.] A riparian
owner of land on a stream may acquire, by prescription, the right to erect a

4. It is not lost by six years' nonuser.] Where the right to maintain
the dam has been established by a prescriptive use extending from 1848 to
1892, the fact that for a period of some six years, between 1892 and 1898,
at which latter date the property was appropriated by the State, the dam has
been allowed to fall into decay and has not since been repaired, does not
establish an intention to abandon the right. Id.
