Letting the land to tenants does not necessarily interrupt adverse possession; where the squatter retains dominion (notably by receipt of rents) and the true owner has been dispossessed for the requisite period, the possessory title is acquired and the true owner's title is extinguished under the Limitation Ordinance. Therefore the plaintiff had acquired possessory title and the appeal fails.
