Syllabus

<p>1. Practice.—The court, on appeal, will not revise an incorrect mode followed by the court below in reaching a judgment supported by the record.</p> <p>2. Judgment lien—Unrecorded deed.—A judgment lien attaches to lands held by tenants of the judgment debtor, and which had been conveyed by deed not recorded, as against the vendee in such deed.</p> <p>3. Notice.—Notice by a vendee holding under an unrecorded deed, and given on the day of sale, will not affect the purchaser. The lien having attached by the judgment in favor of the plaintiff in execution, is not affected by subsequent notice.</p> <p>4. Possession as notice of title.—Under our statute the rule has become settled, that possession, either in person or by tenant, is equivalent to registration.</p> <p>5. Same.—A purchaser of land is bound to take notice of the rights of the occupant, or of the landlord of the occupant, in the land purchased.</p>
