Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. An act of procuration, under private signature, which is attached by the agent, named therein, to an authentic act purporting to have been executed under its authority, is not thereby proved or made authentic.</p> <p>2. Civil possession, under a recorded title, for fifteen year's; the fact that during the greater part of that time the property has been subjected to recorded mortgages, imposed by the apparent owner; the testimony of a member of the bar, by whom, acting under a power of attorney under private signature, the sale was made, to the effect that he remitted the proceeds to the vendors, and has heard pf no complaint from them, together with the absence of any claim or pretense of adverse title or possession from the date of the purchase, are cumulative facts which justify the court in holding the title good and such as an adjudicatee is bound to accept.</p>
