Syllabus
<p>SALE BY TUTOR — VALIDITY—TITLE ACQUIRED —NOTICE OF DEFECT — ESTOPPEL —PRESCRIPTION.</p> <p>1. The tutors sold the property claimed by the plaintiff heirs, who were minors, in payment, principally, of their personal indebtedness to the buyer.</p> <p>The buyer could not receive a valid title. All laws upon the subject are against such a purchase.</p> <p>2. The price, due as it was by the tutors personally, was wanting as between the minors, and the buyer. It follows, there was no title.</p> <p>3. The asserted sale did not have the essential, to wit, the price.</p> <p>4. The buyer must, under the law, be held to have knowledge of the defect of his title. •</p> <p>5. The possessor under a title void on its face, because violative of a prohibitory law, cannot claim the protection awarded by the law to purchasers who acquire on the face of the title conveying ownership.</p> <p>6. A defendant cannot controvert his author’s title. Each plaintiff and defendant trace their title to a common origin.</p> <p>7. The prescription of five years does not cure the nullity shown; nor that of ten years, the defect in the asserted title.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
