The applicants reverse successful  in the  Court  of First Instance of Abra in securing the registration  in their names of the lands described in their application. The basis for the adjudication has a sale to them in 1876, long and continuous possession, and payment of the land taxes.  It is undoubtedly true, however,  as contended  lay the appellants, that  the  declarations for tax purposes have gradually increased the area of the land  of the  applicants. But as against this, in the instant case, as pointed out by the attorney for the applicants, the oppositors  have presented no proof to show that the applicants were  tenants, no proof to show the filing of any, action in court to  protect their interests, if they had any, and no proof  to show payment of the land taxes.  A somewhat similar  case was recently before the Court, No. 34733, and was decided adversely to the appellants.  But here the evidence  is  not even as strong as in that case.  Accordingly, no reason is shown for disturbing in the slightest the conclusions and judgment of the trial court.

Judgment affirmed,  with the costs of this instance against the appellants.

Ten days from the publication of this decision, judgment will be entered,  and five days thereafter,  the record will he remanded to  the court below.
