Syllabus

<p>1„ Evidence.—Trespass to Try Title.—In trespass to toy title the plaintiff may introduce in evidence a deed'forming a link in his chain of title though it bears date subsequent to the alleged entry as charged in the petition, if executed before the institution of the suit.</p> <p>2. Agreement op Counsel.—The action of the trial judge after hearing statements of counsel for parties litigant in regard to a parol agreement to waive filing of title deeds and notice thereof, in enforcing such agreement, constitutes no ground for a reversal of judgment.</p> <p>3. Registration—Notice.—Registration of a deed is notice only to one claiming under the grantor in the recorded deed. A junior purchaser of land is char gable not only with notice of the contents of registered deeds in the chain of title, but when the mesne conveyances contain that which should put a prudent man on inquiry, he is chargeable with notice of whatever an inquiry would have revealed.</p>
