Case 38 — PETITION EQUITY —
January 17.
Anderson v. Summers.
APPEAL PROM NELSON CIRCUIT COURT.
1. Land sold and conveyed by the heir to a tona fide purchaser for a valuable consideration is not liable to a judgment against the vendor and his co-heirs in an action brought after the alienation for the debt of their ancestor from whom the land descended.
2. A sale of the land under such judgment, especially when the vendee of the heir becomes the purchaser, does not constitute an eviction by a paramount title, or a breach of the vendor’s warranty of title.

Opinion:
JUDGE ROBERTSON
delivered the opinion op the court.
As the appellee Summers, as bona fide purchaser for a valuable consideration, held the legal title of Thomas D. Anderson in the sixty-four acres of land which descended from his father, Benedict Anderson, that interest was not liable to the judgment against Thomas and his co-heirs on an action brought after the alienation; the sale of it therefore under that judgment, and especially the purchase by Summers himself, did not constitute an eviction under a paramount title, and consequently did not entitle Summers to the judgment rendered in his favor in this action for a misjudged breach of T. D. Anderson's general Avarranty of title.
Wherefore the judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded for a dismission of the petition.
