The sheriff's deed to Payne, for the tract later occupied by the Newburgh townsite, was dated.

The evidence

• “It appears that Lamb did not pay his mortgage, and it was subsequently foreclosed and the entire tract bought in by Payne for $1,352. The sheriff 's deed to him is dated October 21, 1843. The tract upon which the townsite of Newburgh was laid out afterwards became the farm of the late William Gunn and was owned by him at the time of his death.”
