The second clause in the wefi of limitations, has a prospective view, and regards cases arising\u00bb af-er the act, as well as before\u00bb I. was not by that clause {!.< s naked possession required an entrv to defeat it. After the coa\u00bb Srmation of imperfect titles, the next thing considered is a ciass. v>F cases in which there ;s no colorable title $ and there the entry \u00a9fitina who Uas title, is required to ue made within seven years. If it were intended to make it unnecessary to enter upon a linked possession, the legislature having just before spoken o\u00ed co-lorable titles, world have introduced the same idea here. Taeir omission is a proof thai they did not mu nd it. Tet it lie admitted that the second clause respected \u2018-.listing or past cases \u00bf then as to future ones, this act is to be construed as if the se-nnd clause \u00abrere not in it \u2014 And then what becomes of the idea of colorable title that is not spoken of or hinted at in any part of the third or fourth clauses 2 The third clause is that which \u00a1requires aa entry to be made. It respects the titles of those persons, who are out of possession. The one clause is for con* inning tides ; the other is for defeating the m by possession. Will it follow, that because an imperfect title, with seven years pcs-cescsion, is rendered valid \u2014 .-that thcrefoie an entry need not fog *n\u00abde against any other possession than one accompanied wit'\"\u00bb ti color of title ? T his third cLu'.e of an act, is word for word j the same as the English statute of James, except that in our's fee word claim is added to that of entry : the objects of both were the siae for quieting metis estates. Ho colour of title is necessary under that act; and if it be under cures, it must b\u00a1 fos-e\u00f3me verj cogesti; reason to warrant such a difference .ii awn \u00fc.. r:t tite act itself. And as colorable title is not spoken of in the third and fourth clauses of cur act, I cannot perceive how it cat?, be inferred from either of the cl.au.ses that colour of title Is necessary.\nSeawexx, c contra.\u201d\n-The reasoning employed its the appendix to Judge Taylor\u2019s Keports, is not answered nor obviated by what has just fallen from the gentlemen for thr defendant: and in addition to that reasoning, other arguments of considerable! weight are to be drawn from the title and preamble of the act,. If we ask what were the objects cf th\u00a1v: act, the title answers, ^ old tides of lands and the body of the act gives preference to that old title which has possession in its favor. The poss-'s-siom therefore inrroduc\u00ed d, by the set, is that which is intended to establish an c!d title. How could disputes tbout these \u00ab.\u00a1d titles, exist, concerning which the act was made ?
