An execution more than twenty years old was renewed by order of court, the defendant having failed to appear and show any cause in answer to a summons properly served upon him. Meld, that this renewal was an acknowledgment by defendant that the judgment was a subsisting lien, that the matter was res judicata, and the renewal execution valid, and that a sale of defendant’s land thereunder gave title to the purchaser.1</p> <p>3. This case distinguished from Tobin v. Myers, 18 8. O., 324.</p>
