The court, among IT'S opinions,
handed down one III the case Of
the Chef Menteur Land Company
VS.. Joseph Melcier and others.
which involved lie ownership Of
certain lands At Chef Menteur, in
which Mr.. John L. Michel had an
interest. At the time of the trial
IN the lower courts the matter at
'facted some attention., aS the case
affected the owner ship Of mud
held by one Of he various clubs AZ
the Chef. The petition set NJ
that the plaintiff had acquired Il
lie from John T. Michel, who bad
obtained his title from the heirs
of Guy Du Fossat, who had ac
CURED 1t by grant Of the Span
Ish crown. The defendants set
up that their club, the Happy
Club. had acquired a plesCriptive
title by being on The land for
more than thirty years, and that
therefore their title was good
against the world. Judge Land,
who was the organ of the court,
held that the defendants had es-
tabllshed their plea OF prescrlp
tioD, and so dismissed the suit
The plea Of prescription was the
only Issue in the case, and at no
time was the qaestion Of Mr.. Mi
chefs title or that of his vendees
OF the property ever RAISED. The
suit was an amicable test
The syllabus Of the Courts $ opin-
ion is as follows:
Chef MeDteur Land Company,
Limited, vs.. Joseph A. Mercier ct
tenants may prescribe
against the true owner by actua!
as owners, Of real es
tate, for more than thirty years,
provided the same has been con
tinuOus and uninterrupted, peace
able and public Neither title
nor good faith are required in the
prescription of Thirty years. Per
sons who possess for themselves
are considered as possessing as
owners. The possession Of one
Joint tenant is regarded in law as
the possession of his co tenants,
their assigns and legal representa-
tives. The question as 10 WHO
are the co tenants Of the party IN
POSSESSION does not affect the fact |
Of his adverse possession for him
self, or for himself and others
1t is, therefore, ordered that the
Judgment below be reversed, and
{ is now ordered that plaintiffs
iemand be rejected and this suit
Dc dismissed with cCsts in both
courts. Dreaux, G.. J., dissents IN
