Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Landlord and Tenant—Denial of Title by Lessee—Tax Deed. The patentee of certain land about to leave for another state put a creditor in possession to hold until the owner’s return, in payment of the debt. Subsequently the land went to tax sale, and the grantee in the tax deed stated to the one in possession that he had the owner’s title, and entered into a lease for one year, which at the end of the term was renewed in writing for another year. The lessee, having afterwards procured a conveyance from the patentee, sought to deny title in his own lessor, the tax deed being good on its face and on record when the leases were executed. Held, that he is es-topped by such leases.</p>
