Goins v. Allen

JUDGE PETERS

delivered the opinion on the oodrt:

It is very clearly established by the evidence that in August, 1861, Elijah Sullivan, then being in possession of the land in controversy, contracted to sell it to appellant for a valuable consideration ; and in September or October of that year put him in possession of it, and he was so possessed on the 13th day of June, 1862, the date of the deed from Sullivan to appellees for the same land.

If appellees had contracted with Sullivan for the land prior to the date of said deed, it is not shown in this record that appellant had any notice of it…
