It is regarded as a presumption that the possessor is the owner. - Abandonment necessitating refusal to hear the action. It is abandonment of the property while grounds for the action exist. Mere neglect, however long, does not prevent the action from being heard. - Proof of possession by all lawful means, including testimony and presumptions. - Ascertaining possession of real property and assessing the presumptions and evidence establishing it as a presumption of ownership, and negating it, are matters for the court of merits.
