Syllabus

<p>An administrator brought suit for land belonging to the estate of his decedent, but pending the suit, he sold the land under order of the probate court, and the purchaser filed a pleading in the suit, alleging her purchase, &c. Thenceforth the suit proceeded in the name of the administrator as plaintiff, for the use of the purchaser, and judgment for the plaintiff was so rendered. Defendant moved to arrest the judgment because the administrator had no interest in the land. Held, that if this is a good objection, it comes too late after judgment. It should have been interposed at the time the purchaser set up claim.</p>
