No. 98-CA-00186-COA.

743 So.2d 389 (1999)

Donald Wayne PEAGLER and Bonnie Peagler, Appellants, v. Katie Ethel MEASELLS, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Mississippi.

March 23, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Pat Donald, Morton, Attorney for Appellants.

Jerry L. Mills, Attorney for Appellee.

BEFORE THOMAS, P.J., LEE, AND SOUTHWICK, JJ.


SOUTHWICK, J., for the Court:

¶ 1. Donald Wayne Peagler and his wife, Bonnie Peagler, appeal the decision of the Scott County Chancery Court. The court found that Donald's aunt, Katie Ethel Measells, had adversely possessed a tract of land to which the Peaglers held record title. They argue that the verdict was against the overwhelming weight of the evidence, as Measells's possession of the land was permissive and not adverse. We disagree and affirm.
