Syllabus

<p>Ground rents — Presumption of payment — Statute of limitations.</p> <p>The presumption of release or extinguishment of a ground rent, under the Act of April 27,1855, P. L. 368,* is not removed nor the bar of the statute tolled by the fact of a conveyance of the property reciting that the sale was made under and subject to the ground rent in question. Such recital is not an acknowledgment made to the ground landlord, and works no estoppel against the vendee or his successors in the title from pleading the statute as a bar to a suit brought years afterwards.</p>
