Per Curiam.

The defendant, to be liable as heir, must have lands which descended to him from the ancestor, and to which that ancestor had title. A deed shown by the plaintiff from the ancestor to the defendant is a proof that the defendant had the lands from his ancestor, though it does not appear who caused the deed to be registered, or that it was even delivered to or accepted by defendant.
