## Opinion text

HAMITER, Justice
(dissenting).
Even if Rectangle did not have a good title when it conveyed to Rose (plaintiffs’ author) in 1923 by the so-called quitclaim deed, which unquestionably was supported by a valid and sufficient consideration, the title later acquired by it in 1927 from Mr. and Mrs. Kranebell (under which defendants claim) inured, in my opinion, to the benefit of Rose, and, hence, to plaintiffs under the doctrine of after-acquired title.
Therefore, I respectfully dissent.
