As the corn was ripe at the time the plaintiff procured the title, the case is brought within, and is controlled by, the rule recognized in Hecht v. Dittman, 56 Iowa, 679, unless such rule should not prevail, because the plaintiff was entitled to a deed on July 3, 1879, and therefore, as is claimed, entitled to possession.
In Curtis v. Millard & Co., 14 Iowa, 128, the court said: “Under our statute the legal estate of a judgment debtor is not divested until after the expiration of the time for redemption, and the title is vested in the purchaser by deed from the sheriff.” The defendant was in possession, entitled to all the rights of Cressey, and his title to the corn was not divested until the execution of the sheriff’s deed to the plaintiff. As it was at that time ripe it did not pass by the con veyance.
