Plaintiffs appeal from a judgment in a nonjury case arising out of cross-actions in ejectment.

Statement of the Case

Plaintiffs and defendants are adjoining landowners. The within action involves a dispute over an area of land approximately 400 feet wide. Plaintiffs, claiming ownership of this area, brought an action in ejectment against defendants. Defendants, in turn, cross-complained in ejectment against plaintiffs seeking the removal of a cabin erected by the latter within said disputed area. The trial court found that title to this area is in defendants upon the basis of agreed boundary, adverse possession, estoppel and laches. The lower court thereupon concluded that plaintiffs have no right, title or interest in the disputed tract and that defendants are entitled to a writ of possession to restore them to possession and to eject plaintiffs from said area.

3. Is the finding that plaintiffs are estopped and barred by laches erroneous ?
