§ 21113. Showing Required of Plaintiff in Forcible Entry or Detainer.

Of Defendant. On the trial of any proceeding for any forcible entry or

forcible detainer, the plaintiff shall only be required to show, in addition to

the forcible entry or forcible detainer complained of, that he was peaceably

in the actual possession at the time of the forcible entry, or was entitled to

the possession at the time of the forcible detainer. The defendant may show

in his defense that he or his ancestors, or those whose interest in such

premises he claims, have been in the quiet possession thereof for the space

of one (1) whole year together next before the commencement of the

proceedings, and that his interest therein is not then ended or determined;

and such showing is a bar to the proceedings.
