Benre Benrejamin - jamin Benrejamin Hagood sued Corbin, the vendor, and obthe tained judgment against Jiim. After this judgac judgacment - ment judgacment was obtained the deed from Corbin was >ur put on record, some four years after its execution, sth but before the sale to Hagood. Had the opin- , ion of the Court been different from what it is, / )b- it would have put in jeopardy a great many of jre the land titles in South Carolina. There are -ed very few persons who do record their deeds with- * ? in six months, as is required by law. Jn doing or j so they run the risk of the vendor's selling the ec* same land to some one else without notice of the an previous sale. But according to the present de?nt cision they are in no danger of a creditor obtain)ut ing a judgment against the vender, provided they record their title before the Sheriff sells the land ill, under the judgment of the creditor, ia. There had been some conflict in the decisions in, of our Courts on these points. All the South ich Carolina cases, and all the statutes of South Carnd olina on the subject of recording deeds, <fcc., ,us have boon reviewed by Judge Wardlaw with . iat great ability in the present opinion of the Court he of Errors. The law is now settled, as we sup posed it was settled previously. Judge O'Neall, ns however, was presiding when the case was heard ts, on the Circuit, and he ruled the law against as. at After ^vc years battling the point with the Court )th and before the Court we have succeeded in es_ tablishing the principle in favor of onr clients.? All that we regret is, that the amount involved l,e in the case will not be sufficient to compensate >si. us for settling the law. Inasmuch as it was a Jth c:,s0 ]n which every man in South Carolina who ,m had not recorded his land titles within six months ,p. had a deep interest, we think we might estab;a. li>h an equitable claim against them to assist ,.y our client, Manscll, in paying counsel fees.? |ie Southern Patriot. 5a.

With no ^"'"i expression of regret, but with a frown like mid: sm;l' night, and a cool " Von should keep out of the P'iro< wav," she pushed majestically on, and entered 'atetl Lew's imiting doors.
