Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Bona Fide Purchaser — Recording of Deed from, Stranger to Record Title — No Notice to Purchaser. One who purchases land from the holder of the record title is not chargeable with notice of a recorded deed made by one who was the real owner but who was a stranger to the record title, notwithstanding the grantor in such deed acts as the agent of the record owner in negotiating the sale.</p> <p>2. Same. The fact that in such circumstances the buyer of the land authorizes such agent to receive the deed from the record owner, and cause it to be recorded and sent to him, is not sufficient to charge the buyer with notice of the true state of the title.</p>
