Proper attention in proper time .
2 .
The law requires a man who has a claim to enforce it in proper time ,
while the adverse party has it in his power to defend himself ;
and if by his neglect to do so ,
he cannot afterwards establish such claim ,
the maxim vigilantibus non dormientibus leges subserviunt ,
acquires full force in such case .
For example ,
a claim not sued for within the time required by the acts of limitation ,
will be presumed to be paid ;
and the mere possession of corporeal real property ,
as if in fee simple ,
and without admitting any other ownership for sixty years ,
is a sufficient title against all the world ,
and cannot be impeached by any dormant claim .
