Appeal from the Circuit Court of Will county; the Hon. J. MoRoberts, Judge, presiding.

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Thornton

Holbrook brought an action of ejectment against one Cook. Ellen Fellows, as landlord of Cook, was made defendant. She afterward married Dickenson, and hence the present title of the suit.

Appellant’s title to the land was evidenced by a patent to James B. Campbell, proof that the lot in controversy was a part of the land, and a decree in bankruptcy against Campbell, and a deed to appellant by the assignee of the bankrupt.

Appellee claims that Campbell, previous to bankruptcy, conveyed all his interest in the lot in question to Gurdon S. Hubbard . The deed to Hubbard was never recorded.
