Lee. LXVIL] OF REAL PROPERTY. 446 houses and lands have now become common means of m vestment, and circulate from owner to owner with unusual and startling rapidity. There is one check to the power of alienation of a right or interest in land, taken from the statute of 32 Hen. VIII, c. 9, against selling pre- tended titles ; and a pretended title, within the purview of the common law, is where one person lays claim to land, of which another is in possession, ...holding adversely to the claim.^ Every grant of land, except as a release, is void as an act of maintenance, if, at the time, the lands are in the actual possession of another person, claiming under a title adverse to that of the grantor.^ This prin- ciple has always been received as settled law in New- York, and it has been incorporated into the Revised Sta- tutes.^ But, even in such a case, the claimant is allowed, by the statute, to execute a valid mortgage of the lands, which has preference, from the time of recording it, over subsequent judgments and mortgages, and binds the lands from the time of recovering possesr^on.^ *The ancient policy, which prohibited the sale *447 of pretended titles, and held the conveyance to a third person of lands held adversely at the time to be an act of maintenance, was founded upon a state of society which does not exist in this country.
