Syllabus

<p>1. Sheriff's Deed—Description.—In a sheriff's deed, otherwise valid, reference is made to other well known deeds for description; the deeds so referred to are produced, and describe the land; held, that such deed will convey title to the land so identified.</p> <p>2. Parol Agreement—Division Line.—A license by parol by one party to the other, being interested in a disputed division line, to occupy pari of the land in dispute to a designated line, is not equivalent to an agreement upon such line as a division line.</p> <p>3. Possession as Notice.—Possession is taken under a title bond not recorded. That part occupied is not in dispute. As to that part which is in dispute, such possession is not notice.</p> <p>4. Purchase without Notice.—There being no record of the title bond, nor possession of the land sold, nor evidence of notice by a purchaser of the land sold, such purchaser would hold against the elder unrecorded title bond.</p>
