Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. A vendee purchasing immovable property in an act of sale reciting “with no warranty whatsoever of title”, it, with other circumstances here shown, suffices to put him on enquiry as to the title he is acquiring.</p> <p>-2. 1-Ie who is thus put on enquiry and does not avail himself of the means and facilities at hand to inform himself of the true facts, can claim no greater consideration than can they whq knew the true facts and yet acted to their peril.</p> <p>:3. Under the circumstances here disclosed it is held the vendees could not have believed themselves the true owners. In the absence of such belief they can be regarded in no other light than as intruders on the land.</p> <p>-4. Being such they can neither claim to be paid the expenses incurred in deadening trees on the land, nor the trees which they felled, or their value.</p>
