Syllabus

<p>Estoppel — Conduct.—Plaintiff, in an action to recover real estate, was the brother of the defendant’s grantor, and had prepared the deed and had been the notary before whom the deed was probated. The grantor died before all the price was paid and before the deed was delivered. Plaintiff was his executor, and sued to partition land from which the land involved had been taken and during the pendency of that suit called on defendant to pay the balance of the price and delivered the deed to him. Defendant did not answer in the suit, and plaintiff bought the land at partition sale. Held, that the defense of estoppel was sustained.</p>
