Illinois Supreme Court December 15, 1853 (Bingham v. Maxcy)

Treat, C. J.

Maxcy obtained a judgment against Bingham, and sued out an execution thereon. Bingham was then the owner of an undivided half of two tracts of land, which he had inherited from his mother, but the records of the county did not show any title in him. One tract adjoined the land on which he resided, and was within the same inclosure; the other tract was unoccupied woodland.
