On title to islands formed de novo in the sea within territorial limits, such land was treated as Crown property, and the claimant had to prove adverse possession for the full statutory period. The evidence did not establish exclusive or adverse possession before 1882, so the prescriptive claim failed and title remained with the Crown.
