Evidence of title to cultivated land
3. In any action brought by an ecclesiastical corporation in respect of any interference with or trespass upon any cultivated lands in the possession of the corporation, it shall not be necessary for the plaintiff to produce evidence of his title to such cultivated lands, but evidence of ten years possession alone shall be sufficient to enable the corporation to maintain the action against any person interfering with the lands, even if he is the registered owner in the books of the District Lands Office:
Provided that the privileges conferred by this section shall not apply to any lands of which any such corporation has taken possession after the 22nd day of May, 1891.
