delivered the opinion of the court.
The evidence is clear that plaintiff was not in possession at the time the suit was begun, but that defendant was in actual possession, although the question of whether such possession had been held adversely for ten years is debatable. The court dismissed the suit for the reason that plaintiff had not shown possession at the commencement of the suit as required by Section 516, L. O. L., but that defendant was in actual possession. That a party out of possession cannot maintain a suit to quiet title against one in actual *308possession is clearly established in this state: Edgar v. Edgar, 26 Or. 65 (37 Pac. 73); Moore v. Shofner, 40 Or. 488 (67 Pac. 511); Hendershott v. Sagsvold, 49 Or. 592 (90 Pac. 1104). The case of State v. Warner Valley Stock Co., 56 Or. 283 (106 Pac. 780, 108 Pac. 861), does not conflict with the decision above cited as the latter case was not a suit to quiet title, but to have canceled certain deeds alleged to have been wrongfully obtained from the state by defendants. In that case the court used the following language, which is applicable here :
“If plaintiff is out of possession and his remedy by ejectment is adequate, then equity will not entertain jurisdiction to remove a cloud, but there are many quia timet actions in which the remedy at law is not adequate, and of which equity will entertain jurisdiction whether plaintiff is in or out of possession.”
Here there can be no question as to the adequacy of plaintiff’s remedy at law as her title is 'clearly shown by the record.
The original complaint having been superseded by the amended one, and therefore being no longer a part of the record, cannot be considered as a waiver of the jürisdictional question. This controversy belongs on the law side of the court, and the decree of the Circuit Court is therefore affirmed. Affirmed.
