CATER careful examination Of the record
we lind that the opinion ofthe learned chan

decided the case in the court below, so
clearly expresses the views OF this court
that we adopt it as our own"
In Judge Fitzhugh's opinion he says
"From the evidence in this cause think II
NAV be fairly assumed that johnson in MS
lifetime, and his representative after bis
death, paid the whole purchase money IN
FULL"
When the sale was confirmed by the
Court DR.. Johnson became in equity the
owner of the land, and his heirs-at-law ac-
quired a complete and equitable title TO the
lots.
After carefully reviewing the whole case
Judge Fitzhugh said: IL am OF opinion that
the demurers be Oyerruled. That the deeds
from Mrs. Peticolas and German and wife
to Reddy and to Ulman, and from Ulman ia
Reddy and from Reddy and wife TO Whit
