Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>A purchaser of real estate from one actually the owner thereof, and so appearing on the public records, is not affected by facts dehors the record of which he had no knowledge, by which his vendor, as between himself and other parties might have been held estopped to have claimed such ownership.</p> <p>A person may be estopped himself by signing as a witness an act, in which third parties contract with each other with reference to rights in which he may have an interest, but the recording of that act does not per se convey constructive knowledge to the general public of any personal connection by the witness with the recitals of the act and its subject matter.</p> <p>A tutor ad hoc to minors should take an oath as such and not as curator ad hoc.</p>
