Syllabus

<p>Bona fide purchasers, who have advanced their money upon the faith of the proceedings of a Court of justice—a judgment, execution and sheriff’s deed—who have possessed peaceably for many years—who have expended large amounts in improvements—will not be turned out of possession on account of mere informalities, at the instance of a party who shows no injury, and exhibits no equitable ground for relief.</p> <p>l'he validity of a judgment for want of citation, cannot be attacked in the Supreme Court when it was not made a ground of action in the Court below.</p>
