Cited. 3 CS 49. Cited. 4 CS 34. Cited. 5 CS 477. Defendant’s deed from his immediate predecessor in title, delivered more than fifteen years after the plaintiff’s adverse possession began was unavailing to convey the land in dispute, since such predecessor was then out of possession. 6 CS 20. Purpose is to codify the common-law rule against champerty and maintenance. Executor’s deed issued by order of probate court is not within its scope. 34 CS 31.
