delivered the opinion of the court.
It appears from the pleadings and proof in this case, that the defendant Lashlee, became the administrator of the estate of James L. Sayles, late of Benton county, and that at the' May term of the circuit court for Benton county, he exhibited his petition, praying for the sale of said slaves. At the same term the court decreed that the sale should be made by the administrator. At the September term of said court, the administrator reported that he had made sale of said slaves, as directed, and the report being unexcepted to was confirmed; and it appearing to the court that the purchase money had been paid, it was ordered and decreed, that the title to said slaves be vested in the purchasers respectively. It appears
We think, therefore, that the deed to the defendant, Lashlee, was bona fide made; that its existence, and the consideration
Affirm the decree.
