Where the real property consists of a strip of land not exceeding\nsix inches in width upon which there stands the exterior wall of a\nbuilding erected partly upon said strip and partly upon the adjoining\nlot, and a building has been erected upon land of the plaintiff abutting\non the said wall, unless said action be commenced within one year after\nthe completion of the erection of such wall. But an action may be\nmaintained if commenced within the further period of one year, for the\nrecovery of damages by reason of the erection of such wall, and upon the\nsatisfaction of the judgment for such damages the title of the plaintiff\nto such strip of land shall thereby be transferred to and vest in the\ndefendant.
