Mrs. Ellen S. Lewis, his widow, VS..
John II. Lewiston motion to dismiss:
While Administrative seeking to re-
cover an immovable would have no
right to appeal where it is not shown
that there are debts due by the sue
cession, still when she is Joined in
the appeal by the attorney for absent
heirs, the appeal will not LIE dismissed,
as the attorney for absent heirs has a
right to appeal. Motion to dismiss
overruled. Exceptions: The bar OF
prescription is maintained, save as re-
lates to the plea of fraud and simula'
ton. This considered and decided on
the merits. On the merits: l. Ii is
the policy of the law that recorded
titles shall not be lightly set aside,
and where a title has remained re-
corded in the names of two people for
a great many years without protest
from anyone and many of those in in
terest have died, the court will not
set aside this title on the testimony OF
one witness who is uncorroborated by
anysperson or any set of facts. 2
