D. A. Salls and Pearl J. Salls v. John W. Martin

John W. Martin purchased certain real estate at master's sale wherein a foreclosure was prosecuted on state and county tax certificates. Thereafter he filed an ejectment action to get possession of the property. Pleas of not guilty were filed; seven years' adverse possession and also that plaintiff's action was not commenced within four years of the date of his deed as required by Section 196.06, Fla. Stat. 1941. All pleas, except the one of not guilty, went out on demurrer. At the trial the court directed a verdict for the plaintiff and defendant appeals.
