Aldis, J.
Lot number eighteen in the third division of lands in Brunswick, containing seventy-two acres, was drawn to the right of Mark H. Wentworth, under whom the plaintiff claimed as heir.
The defendant, under William Wait, claimed title to thirty-six acres (undivided) of the lot, by virtue of a deed from Henry Shoff, collector of a land tax, to William Wait; the thirty-six acres having been sold at vendue. The title under the tax and vendue was admitted to be good and legal, unless the sale and deed from the collector was invalid.
