Carroll & Carroll for plaintiff.

John J. Henderson for defendant.

Per Curiam.

John M. Fogleman, seized of h tract of land, .died intestate, leaving tbe plaintiff and tbe defendant bis only beirs at law. In April, 1924, tbe plaintiff brought a proceeding before tbe clerk to have tbe land sold for partition. A commissioner sold tbe land under order of tbe court and made bis report, but afterwards there were two other sales. Tbe report of tbe third sale was confirmed 28 December, 1925. Tbe purchaser demanded of tbe defendant tbe possession of tbe property and subsequently filed a petition for a writ of possession and tbe writ was issued on 17 February, 1926. Soon thereafter tbe defendant filed a petition asking that tbe order of confirmation be rescinded and tbe writ of possession recalled. Upon affidavits filed in tbe cause bis Honor found as facts that tbe property bad been duly advertised and sold, that tbe sale bad been confirmed and a deed made to tbe purchaser, and that tbe purchaser bad conveyed tbe land as security for borrowed money, and upon these facts tbe petitioner’s motion was denied. In tbis we find nothing of which tbe defendant can justly complain. Tbe judgment is

Affirmed.
