Supreme Court of Connecticut July 15, 1833 (Fitch v. Chapman)

Williams, J.

The plaintiff having levied his executions upon the land as the property of John Chapman, it is admitted, that the proceedings are regular, and he has a right to recover, if the title was in John Chapman. That this title was in him, and remained in him, unless defeated, by the mortgage to Smedley, and the subsequent release to the defendant, is also clearly shewn.
