It occupied a day amt ' nearly n hull in it* adjustment, and some of ' the points connected therewith are ol? gen- ' eral importance: This wiiii un action of trcrj'iits tu try title, 1 brought by John \V. ltelW and wife against John Maiwy. The plainiifl's claim was based upon n deed of conveyance of the land in dispute, executed by one hlijali I'hil- 1 lips to Ins danghict, purporting to have ' been for Valuable consideration. This deed ' was executed in 18*J4, mid about three years subsequently, the vendee became the wile of He Ik. i'ltiliips ami bis wife continued in |K?seessioti of the lund in question, and it wan proven, that on the interesting occasion when Ilelk made proposals to the old niuti l'hillips for bis daughter, this deed of conveyance was talked of, and thai he (HeIk) gave a verbal promise that the old people would never be turned out by him. | which promise it seems thai lie religiously ! adhered to, for thc.y continued tu live upon the land until their deaths, exercising nil the rights of u? tiership. Mrs. lMiillips. w ho survived her husband, died about 1853,and shortly after, this suit was instituted by the nlllilltitfs. Ul/.UIlSt the defendant imu- >? ! possession. To thin the defendant answered :? 1st, that the deed from Phillip* to his daughter was founded in fraud, that it was given w ill) the \iew to sen en the land from liabilities w ith w hich he (Phillips) was then threatened, and consequently was void ? idly, that allowing it to have beer, valid, Phillips and his wife were in possession a sufficient length of time utter its execution to confer a title upon them by cpcralion of luvv. lastly : defendant claimed title in bint self, by virtue of a deed from the 8iicriff of this District, who sold t'ne iand in 1844 under an execution against Phillips Purchaser at Sheriff's sale bought without notice, and several years thereafter, traiistered his claim to defendant lor valuable Consideration. The Court instructed the jury that the deed from Phillips to his daughter was invalid as to all claims, of w hntever kind, against Phillips nt the time of its execution; I tor, nllhougli the deed purported to be for valuable consideration, yet it was admitted by counsel on both sides that nothing was paid, the daughter having been under nge and, as proved, possessed of no property ; the plaintiff's counsel claiming that it was, neveitheless, a ( wxl consideration. Hut it appeared that Phillips had other property, sufficient to pay off all claims against him previous to 1824, and that these claims were finally settled ; nod the Court held, that the deed was good against Phillips himself and against subsequent creditors. As to the statute of limitations pleaded by the defence, the Court subscribed to a principle of law laid down by the counsel for plaintiff as applicable in this case, vis ; that w hen a man enters upon land, ackrowledgiug the title to be in another, lie can not afterwards plead the statute of limitations j I ... ....... ... iimiauli , iiuit*mi ni! expressly am| nvowi the title of the other, give* proper notice, nnd the ntaiutes to run from the d.ite j l of auch notice. It did not appear thai Phillip* hod ever repudiated his daughter's elaitn Next, a* to defendant's title under deed I from the Sheriff: The counsel for the * s. j : fence argued, that the plaintiff should have .given notice of his claim when the land was advertised for sale aa the property of | j another liy :ho Sheriff; and, ina??,urh as he ! j did not do so, he il.ould not be allowed to i assert his claim now. The Court upon ' I thin point lieJd,that, ordinarily, the recording ' of a deed of conveyance was sufl'u ient notice, and this had been reguinily recorded.? Hut the vendor continued in poaaeaaion, and i this fact, >n the opinion of the Court, made an important difference- That the vendor, exercising all the rights of ownership for a number of year*, the vendee n sking ne claim during the while, the purchaser at Sheriff*s aale, under these circumstances, should have had other notice than the mere record. The Court, in summing up. instructed the jury that they, in making their verdict, had thiec important points to consider: 1st, Whether the deed from Phillips to his , daughter was in its original a fraud and | npon that account void 'idly, Whether the | !>lcn of the^statute of limitations set up, would bur the plaintiffs claim. 3dly, Whether the recording was sufficient notice. The jury gave a verdict for piulhtiff, with . $100 damages. The case was n,nnnged by . W. A. Moore, Ksq., for the plaintiff, and the defence by Messrs Clinton & Secrest, assisted Hy Messrs. Duwkins & Wylic.? We learn that the defendants have appealed. * Tmf. Mo Out Vf.rnon FOnP.?Th6 B?lti\ mofe American says?
