1Opinion of the Court
Adams, Ch. J.
i. tax deed : effect of as evidence:no-deem. The defendant contends in the first place that it does not appear that the plaintiff is in a condition to question his tax title, because he has not shown , that he is the holder of the patent title. The case is submitted upon an agreed statement of facts. From this statement it appears that in 1876 one David Stanton held the equitable title to the land and one Francis Davis held the legffi title: that Stanton and'Davis, • while thus holding title, executed each respectively a deed to the plaintiff. In our opinion this is sufficient.-
