The defendant must be in po e ion, and plaintiff must recover on the strength of his own title, not on defects in defendant's. Its procedure has been modified generally by modern statutes. Ejector. Instrument for displacing large volumes of fluid against low resistances by means of the velocity of a jet of steam. It differs from an injector in that the latter operates on relatively smaller volumes and against higher pre ures. A jet of steam at high velocity induces a current of the fluid to be moved (Venturi's principle), and when the steam and the other fluid are mingled at the nozzle the latter is entrained by the velocity of the power. It is used to drain or lift water, and to create air-vacua.
