Opinion

Campbell, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

There was a failure by the complainant to show title in the state of Mississippi, without which even a patent by the state would have been unavailing, Funston v. Metcalf, 40 Miss. 504, and the cause failed for want of this first step, which precludes the consideration of any other question, since the decree is correct upon the whole record.

Affirmed.
