1Opinion of the CourtShepley, C. J.
— This writ of entry was brought to recover seven-eleventh undivided parts of a farm situated in the town of Corinna.

The demandants are his children, and they will be entitled to recover, unless the tenant has acquired a superior title. He has acquired the title of Henry W.-Hayden, one of the original demandants by a conveyance from him, made on May 27, 1848, since the commencement of the suit. The demand-ants obtained leave to discontinue as to him; and to this exception is taken.
