The plaintiffs\u2019 failed to connect themselves with the title of Pennington, whatever that was j the jury find that Stokes did not buy at the sheriff\u2019s sale, against Pennington. Stokes, therefore, had no title, legal er equitable. The only show of title which the plaintiffs have, is the alleged estoppel, when the defendant was present at the time when the land was sold as the property of Stokes, and consented thereto. But these exceptions have no connection with that transaction, but to antecedent matters. And so they are irrelevant, except the objection to the testimony of witness Russel], who said that he bought the land when the sheriff sold it as Pennington\u2019s sale, and that Stokes did not buy it.\nThis evidence was competent.\nThere is no error.\nPee CtJRiAM.\nJudgment affirmed.",
