Side 98 - Where a corporation is incompetent by its charter to take a title to real estate, a conveyance to it is not void, but only voidable, and the sovereign alone can object. It is valid until assailed in a direct proceeding instituted for that purpose.

Side 436 - That the taking of a legal estate after notice of a prior right makes a person a mala fide purchaser; and not that he is not a purchaser for a valuable consideration in every other respect. This is a species of fraud...
