1. A landowner who Is not party to,
has no notice of, and does not defend. an
action of ejectment prosecuted against his
tenant is not bound by judgment in the
action adverse to the tenant.
2 Purchasers from a landowner in the
situation described acquiring his title
subsequent to the Judgment in ejectment,
take such title unprecedented by the judg-
ment although they were defeated parties
to the ejectment suit.
3. A tenant in possession took out tax
deed of the land and conveyed to another,
maintaining however his proper relation to
the landlord owner. In an action of eject
ment to which the landlord was not a
party the tax deed was set aside and the
tax title purchaser was given lien for
taxes which the claimant was required to
satisfy before being let into possession.
The claimant paid the amount of the lien
but did not gain possession of the land
and decided it to another. The tax title
purchaser then procured a conveyance
! from the owner and brought an action to
quiet title against the grantee of the
ejectment claimant. Held, that the de-
PENDANT should be regarded as the equit-
able assignee of the lien for taxes and
that equitable relief to the plaintiff should
be conditioned upon its satisfaction.
