By the Court:

The Legislature in making the rule ‍​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‍that a deed recorded two years should be conclusive, did not design to leave parties ‍​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‍without the means of testing it in the mean time. The remedy they provided was ‍​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‍held void in Waldby v. Callendar. There is no other adequate remedy, and we think the whole ‍​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‍statute was’ designed to go together; so that, the remedy failing, the whole provision falls with it.

Judgment ‍​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‍reversed, with costs, and a new trial ordered.
