ADVERSE POSSESSION

1. Dedication.-Town Plats.-Prescriptive Rights.-The making and recording of a statutory plat and its acceptance by the designated public authorities is a grant of title to an easement for a street, and the public cannot be deprived of its rights by prescription nor by the carelessness of its officers.

Murray v. City of Huntingburg, 504, 506 (2). 2. Highways.-Encroachments.-One encroaching on a highway dedicated to the public use acquires no rights by prescription or adverse user. City of Princeton v. Hanna, 582, 587 (4). 3. Possession.-Evidence.-The fact that the owner of a city lot had enclosed within a fence a five-foot strip lying along one side of the lot for only ten years before an adjoining plat was laid out indicating a street covering such strip, and only thirteen years before the acceptance by the city of such plat, is not sufficient to show a prescriptive right to the strip in an action to quiet title thereto.

setting aside the void judgment, and the court on appeal ac-
quires jurisdiction for such purpose only.

Hussey, 228, 235 (4).

II. DECISIONS REVIEWABLE.

2. Right of Appeal.-Special Proceedings.-The general right of
appeal from final judgments does not obtain in special proceed-
ings unless that right is expressly granted.

Cincinnati, etc., R. Co. v. Board of Public Works, 235, 237 (2).
3. Administrative Powers.-Where the duty of a board of com-
missioners does not involve judicial action, but consists in the
performance of administrative, ministerial or discretionary
powers, no appeal lies from such action unless it is expressly
authorized by statute.
Cushman v. Hussey, 228, 230 (2).
4. Railroad Elevation.-Judgment of Reviewing Court.-Stat-
