Syllabus

<p>1. Under the express terms of the statute, a party after verdict against him for recovery of land, is entitled to . recover the value of all imr provements made upon the land, where he supposed, at the time of his purchase, that he had a good title in-fee, not excluding those made after subsequent knowledge of title in another.</p> <p>2. Whether such party so supposed is a question of fact. In determining this question, his knowledge of facts which in law render his title defective, is a circumstance to be considered,- but does not in itself show that he did not suppose his title to be in fee.'</p> <p>3. The verdict in the action for the recovery of the land, and for damages, was no adjudication of the issue here raised, as to improvements by clearings on the land. - .</p>
