Per Curiam,

The real estate sold by the sheriff belonged to Lovina Metzger, and ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍the only liens against it were those which she had created. The mortgage given by her son, Jacob Metzger, to Reuben B. Leith, for ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍$1,000.00, was no encumbrance upon the property, for the recovery by his mother in the action of ejectment is conclusive that he had no title ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍to any interest in the property at the time of the execution of the said mortgage. It is, therefore, not to be considered in ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍the distribution of the proceeds of the sheriff’s sale. After the payment of the lien indebtedness created by Mrs. Metzger, the balance belonged to ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍her estate, she having died since the sheriff’s sale.

Decree affirmed at appellant’s costs.
