majority opinion

Pee Ouetam:

We agree that the parol sale in this case was of no validity, but after one has been in the notorious, exclusive, and hostile possession of land for half a century, it does not make much difference whether he claims by parol title or no title at all, for the .statute of limitations conclusively establishes his right. As to ■whether George Bonnell claimed the fee or only a life estate was a question that was fairly submitted to the jury.

The judgment is affirmed.
