POSSESSION
(bouvier) | POSSESSION, intern. law. By possession is meant a country which is held by
no other title than mere conquest.
2. In this sense Possession differs from a dependency, which belongs
rightfully to the country which has dominion over it; and from colony, which
is a country settled by citizens or subjects of the mother country. 3 Wash.
C. C. R. 286.
|
POSSESSION
(bouvier) | POSSESSION, property. The detention or enjoyment of a thing which a man
holds or exercises by himself or by another who keeps or exercises it in his
name. By the possession of a thing, we always conceive the condition, in
which not only one's own dealing with the thing is physically possible, but
every other person's dealing with it is capable of being excluded. Thus, the
seaman possesses his ship, but not the water in which it moves, although he
makes each subserve his purpose.
2. In order to complete a possession two things are required. 1st. That
there be an occupancy, apprehension, (q.v.) or taking. 2dly. That the taking
be with an intent to possess (animus possidendi), hence persons who have no
legal wills, as children and idiots, cannot possess or acquire possession.
Poth. h. It.; Etienne, h.t. See Mer. R. 358; Abbott on Ship. 9, et seq. But
an infant of sufficient understanding may lawfully acquire the possession of
a thing.
3. Possession is natural or civil; natural, when a man detains a thing
corporeal, as by occupying a house, cultivating grounds or retaining a
movable in his custody; possession is civil, when a person ceases to reside
in the house, or on the land which he occupied, or to detain the movable he
possessed, but without intending to abandon the possession. See, as to
possession of lands, 2 Bl. Com. 116; Hamm. Parties, 178; 1 McLean's R. 214,
265.
4. Possession is also actual or constructive; actual, when the thing is
in the immediate occupancy of the party. 3 Dey. R. 34. Constructive, when a
man claims to hold by virtue of some title, without having the actual
Occupancy; as, when the owner of a lot of land, regularly laid out, is in
possession of any part, he is considered constructively in possession of the
whole. 11 Vern. R. 129. What removal of property or loss of possession will
be sufficient to constitute larceny, vide 2 Chit. Cr. Law, 919; 19 Jurist,
14; Etienne, h.t. Civ. Code of Louis. 3391, et seq.
5. Possession, in the civil law, is divided into natural and civil. The
same division is adopted by the Civil Code of Louisiana.
6. Natural possession is that by which a man detains a thing corporeal,
as by occupying a house, cultivating ground, or retaining a movable in his
possession. Natural possession is also defined to be the corporeal detention
of a thing, which we possess as belonging to us, without any title to that
possession, or with a title which is void. Civ. Code of Lo. art. 3391, 3393.
7. Possession is civil, when a person ceases to reside in a house or on
the land which he occupied, or to detain the movable which he possessed, but
without intending to abandon the possession. It is the detention of a thing,
by virtue of a just title, and under the conviction of possessing as owner.
Id. art. 3392, 3394.
8. Possession applies properly only to corporeal things, movables and
immovables. The possession of incorporeal rights, such as servitudes and
other rights of that nature, is only a quasi. possession, and is exercised
by a species of possession of which these rights are susceptible. Id. art.
3395.
9. Possession may be enjoyed by the proprietor of the, thing, or by
another for him; thus the proprietor of a house possesses it by his tenant
or farmer.
10. To acquire possession of a property, two things are requisite. 1.
The intention of possessing as owner. 2. The corporeal possession of the
thing. Id. art. 3399.
11. Possession is lost with or without the consent of the possessor. It
is lost with his consent, 1. When he transfers this possession to another
with the intention to divest himself of it. 2. When he does some act, which
manifests his intention of abandoning possession, as when a man throws into
the street furniture or clothes, of which he no longer chooses to make use.
Id. art. 3411. A possessor of an estate loses the possession against his
consent. 1. When another expels him from it, whether by force in driving him
away, or by usurping possession during his absence, and preventing him from
reentering. 2. When the possessor of an estate allows it to be usurped, and
held for a year, without, during that time, having done any act of
possession, or interfered with the usurper's possession. Id. art. 3412.
12. As to the effects of the purchaser's taking possession, see Sugd.

ADVERSE POSSESSION
(bouvier) | ADVERSE POSSESSION, title to lands. The enjoyment of land, or such estate as
lies in grant, under such circumstances as indicate that such enjoyment has
been commenced and continued, under an assertion or color of right on the
part of the possessor. 3 East, R. 394; 1 Pick. Rep. 466; 1 Dall. R. 67; 2
Serg. & Rawle, 527; 10 Watts R, 289; 8 Con R. 440; 3 Penn. 132; 2 Aik. 364;
2 Watts, 23; 9, John. 174; 18 John. 40, 355; 5 Pet. 402; 4 Bibb, 550.
Actual possession is a pedis possessio which can be only of ground enclosed,
and only such possession can a wrongdoer have. He can have no constructive
possession. 7 Serg. & R. 192; 3 Id. 517; 2 Wash. C. Rep. 478, 479.
2. When the possession or enjoyment has been adverse for twenty years,
of which the jury are to judge from the circumstances the law raises the
presumption of a grant. Ang. on Wat. Courses, 85, et seq. But this
presumption arises only when the use or occupation would otherwise have been
unlawful. 3 Greenl. R. 120; 6 Binn. R. 416; 6 Cowen, R. 617, 677; Cowen, R.
589; 4 S. & R. 456. See 2 Smith's Lead. Cas. 307-416.
3. There are four general rules by which it may be ascertained that
possession is not adverse; these will be separately considered.
4.-1. When both parties claim under the same title; as, if a man
seised of certain land in fee, have issue two sons and die seised, and one
of the sons enter by abatement into the land, the statute, of limitations
will not operate against the other son; for when the abator entered into the
land of his father, before entry made by his brother, the law intends that
he entered claiming as heir to his father, by which title the other son also
claims. Co. Litt s. 396.
5.-2. When the possession of the one party is consistent with the
title of the other; as, where, the rents of a trust state were received by a
cestui que trust for more than twenty years after the creation of the trust,
without any interference, of the trustee, such possession being consistent
with and secured to the cestui que trust by the terms of the deed, the
receipt was held not to be adverse to the title of the trustee. 8 East. 248.
6.-3. When, in contemplation of law, the claimant has never been out
of possession; as, where Paul devised lands to John and his heirs, and died,
and John died, and afterwards the heirs of John and a stranger entered, and
took the profits for twenty years; upon ejectment brought by the devisee of
the heir of John against the stranger, it was held that the perception of
the rents and profits by the stranger was not adverse to the devisee's
title; for when two men are in possession, the law adjudges it to be the
possession of him who has the right. Lord Raym. 329.
7.-4. When the occupier has acknowledged the claimant's titles; as,
if a lease be granted for a term, and, after paying the rent for the land
during such term, the tenant hold for twenty years without paying rent, his
possession will not be adverse. See Bos. & P. 542; 8 B. & Cr. 717; 2 Bouv.
Inst. n. 2193-94, 2351.

2. The sheriff, is commanded by this writ that, without delay, he cause
the plaintiff to have possession of the land in dispute which is therein
described; a fi. fa. or ca. sa. for costs may be included in the writ. The
duty of the sheriff in the execution and return of that part of the writ, is
the same as on a common fi. fa. or ca. sa. The sheriff is to execute this
writ by delivering a full and, actual possession of the premises to the
plaintiff. For this purpose he may break an outer or inner door of the
house, and, should he be violently opposed, he may raise the posse
