Error to the Common Pleas of Adams county. May 18. — This was an ejectment against a purchaser at sheriff’s sale, in August, 1842, of the property of the plaintiff. The title shown was a conveyance to the wife of the plaintiff. Defendant had entered under his deed from the sheriff. It was shown the land yielded a rent. The court (Durkee, President) charged the jury, that “ The sale of John Stambaugh’s life-estate in the premises in dispute, on the fi. fa., issued against him, was void. The defendant, therefore, acquired no title under it, and the plaintiffs are entitled to recover.”
1Per curiam
— The very point in contest was ruled by this court in Denniston’s Appeal, (1 Penna. State Rep. 201,) a case not published when the cause before us was tried. This cause, however, was properly decided on principle.
Judgment affirmed.
