WILLBURN had a decree quieting his title to a one-half interest in the water of the Nicolas Maes ditch. Certain defendants bring error and move for supersedeas. Both parties ask for a final decision on the merits. The plaintiff pleaded, inter alia, his right by prescription.
The decree which adjudicated the priority of the said ditch recited that it was owned by Nicolas Maes and Juan M. Ortivis. Juan B. Ortivis, however, son of Juan M., helped dig the ditch before 1880, and the water in *Page 71 question was continuously thereafter applied to his land and not to his father's (there was evidence that his father had no land) until 1912 when he sold the land and water right to Sabino Sanchez, through whom plaintiff claims. There was further evidence and the court found that there had been continuous adverse use, thereof by plaintiff and his grantors from 1880 to the commencement of the action.
Under this evidence and finding the judgment is unassailable. In Allen v. Swadley,
The judgment is affirmed. *Page 72
