Pratt v. Houghtaling

This was an action of ejectment, brought by one of the children and heirs-at-law of Pul of D. Orego, deceased, to recover her interest in lands of which he died seized. The defendant claims title under an administrator’s sale made in 1861, and also to be a bona fide purchaser.
