Supreme Court of Alabama November 15, 1889 (Gafford v. Strauss)

CLOPTON, J.

Both parties concede that J. M. Gafford was formerly seized and possessed of the land in controversy. Appellee', who was the plaintiff in the Circuit Court, derives title under a mortgage executed by him, February *28522, 1873. Defendants do not claim that title ever passed from Gafford to them, or either of them, by any legal conveyance.
