W. G. Worrill, R. H. Sheffield, and C. C. Bush, for plaintiffs.

Opinion:
Simmons, C. J.
The plaintiff showed a perfect paper title to the land in controversy, but the defendant showed a prescriptive title based on more than seven years adverse possession under written evidence of title. A verdict for the defendant was therefore demanded, and the court did not err in so directing. Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concurring.
