• 50 Fla. 563

Syllabus

<p>1. An unrecorded deed may be good as to the parties thereto and as to those who have notice thereof.</p> <p>2. In a foreclosure proceeding a plea filed by the mortgagor that the property had been sold and possession delivered to a third party, calls for some vigilance on the part of the mortgagee as to the truth of such plea.</p> <p>3. One who lias bona fide bought and assumed possession of mortgaged property, prior to the proceedings for foreclosure, to which he is not a party, may be permitted to redeem the property from sale under such foreclosure.</p> <p>4. The findings of the Circuit Court on a question of the bona tides of a sale of realty, based in part on the non-recording of a deed and the lack of resistence when possession was demanded by purchaser under a judicial sale, will not be disturbed, the vendees being unlettered foreigners.</p>
