• 90 Ill. 302

Syllabus

<p>1. Practice—objections that may be obviated must be made in the court below. Under the Burnt Records act, an abstract of title is made evidence under certain conditions, and if such abstract is produced in evidence, without proof of the circumstances necessary to its admission, the other party should object to it in the court below, and his failure to do so will amount to a waiver of such preliminary proof, and the admission of the abstract can not be objected to in this court.</p> <p>2. Recording act—as affording constructive notice to subsequent purchasers. A subsequent purchaser of real estate is not chargeable with constructive notice of all instruments of record by whomsoever made, but only of such as lie in the apparent chain of title, or may be made by one in some way connected with the property involved in interest, and it brought to the notice of the purchaser. Such purchaser is not bound to look for judgments against one in whom the record shows no title, or for any conveyance from him, or sheriff’s deed on sale under execution against him.</p> <p>3. A person holding under a contract of purchase of two lots of ground, such contract not being recorded, sold one of the lots to a third person, executing to him an agreement in respect thereto, which was duly recorded. Thereupon the original contract of sale of the two lots was taken up and canceled, the first vendor executing two separate contracts for the lots, respectively, to the then several purchasers : Held, the recording of the contract of sale from the first purchaser to Ms vendee of the one lot afforded no notice to subsequent purchasers of the other lot from the original owner, that such first purchaser ever held any interest in this last named lot.</p> <p>4. An immediate purchaser of land from one who holds under a contract of purchase, and who takes his deed direct from the first vendor, may be chargeable with notice of his own vendor’s interest, as respects the rights of creditors of the latter
