absolute estate Of Inheritance, after the
purchaser had held the same two years /;

srs, rendering nugatory al that part Of
the law granting fse-simple titles after
two yesn' possession, will, Or should,
bring to speedy close these suits, and
the lands be restored TO rigbtful owners.
Whether this Law Was o result Of Radical

not within our province to determine We
