Syllabus

<p>Assignment for creditors — Sale by assignee — Summary possession.</p> <p>The act of February 17, 1876, P. L. 4, provides a more expeditious method than formerly existed for putting a purchaser of real estate at a valid assignee’s sale into the possession held by the assignor at the time of the assignment. It is not intended as a substitute for an action of ejectment. It gives the court no power to determine the validity of an adverse title to the lancf; but as against the assignor and those holding under him it enables the court to give effect to the deed of assignment by requiring the assignor or any person representing him to surrender the possession to the purchaser at the assignee’s sale.</p>
